Where is Baby's Pumpkin? by Karen Katz
We have two other lift-the-flaps books by Karen Katz and
they are all great. This one is about a baby who can't go
trick-or-treating until she can find her special pumpkin
where she collects all her candy. She looks under leaves,
under the bed, in the closet, all around until she finds
it. The illustrations are wonderfully colorful and
sparkly and appeal to those who like to touch and feel as
well. A great Halloween addition for babies & toddlers
library. - Reviewed by Diana, mother of two. $6.99

 I'm
Not Afraid of Halloween! by Marion Dane Bauer
This is my son's very first pop-up book and he is crazy
about it. He doesn't even need to listen to the story, he
just likes seeing the pictures pop up and down! It's a
story of a baby werewolf who has a bunch of
trick-or-treaters who arrive in typically scary costumes,
but he isn't afraid of any of them until he opens the
door to three children dressed in a bunny costume, an
angel costume and a kitty cat costume and he jumps into
his dad's arms because he is frightened by such normal
looking trick-or-treaters! An amusing story with fun
pop-ups for kids of all ages. - Reviewed by Diana,

Tell Me A Scary Story ... But Not Too Scary! (Book & Audio CD) Here's a book
I have read every single night at least two times since I got it. The
kids love it. My son, who is 2 1/2 loves to ask for Mr. Neewollah.
There's a review on Amazon, but I think it's way off base. I think the
reading is great on the cd and the story is fun. I'm not sure I'm
thrilled about a kid sneaking out at midnight and going to a strangers house,
but that doesn't seem to be the message that sticks in my kids head What they
seem to grasp is that it's a person in a costume not a monster. Personally, I think
this book and it's illustrations are just GREAT! Another fun book to
look at by the same illustrator is
Halloween
by Jerry Seinfeld.

The Night of the Paper Bag Monsters
My kids really enjoyed this story, especially the illustrations.
Although it doesn't specifically say Halloween there is a special costume
party. It's a nice story about best friends fighting and how they
eventually make up.
