Editorial Reviews

If you have kids, you may be faced with the question "What should I be this Halloween?" Turning the pages in this board book lets kids see what a skeleton mask and costume might look like or perhaps a cat, a vampire or a witch. What will it be? Another activity related to Halloween is the creation of a jack-o'-lantern. Should it have a smiling face, a scary look or a spooky one? The text asks which one will you carve? Turning to what appears to be the last page presents a set of doors. When each of the full page flaps is opened, there are all the kids shown having a great time at a Halloween party wearing the masks featured in the earlier part of the book. They all seem to have matching pumpkin trick-or-treat bags filled with candy and other goodies. The artwork of cut paper collage works quite well in this simple holiday offering.
