Noisy Halloween

Hettie Cox originally hails from North London, where she lives with her family, two bunnies, and cat Roxie. When she’s not researching fun facts for children’s books or looking over artwork, she’s usually curled up with a cup of tea watching an animated movie (or three!) or singing with her little sister.Compiled by Tiger Tales. Tiger Tales publishes imaginative picture, board, novelty, chapter, and nonfiction books for children of all ages. Whether the story is funny, whimsical, informative, or teaches a gentle lesson, Tiger Tales books are designed to entertain, educate, and engage young readers.

Toddler-PreS–A feast for any toddler’s or preschooler’s senses. Color photos of Halloween icons like black cats and cauldrons, plus charming photos of babies and young children dressed up for Halloween, immediately draw readers’ attentions. A sound button on each spread lets readers hear a bubbling cauldron, the hoot of an owl, and the cackling of a witch, among other sounds. Touch-and-feel elements on each page encourage readers to enjoy soft black cat fur, Halloween slime, or the feel of a ghostly sheet. Simple, descriptive text tells of fun holiday moments, and thought-provoking questions like “Which costume would you choose?” invite readers to describe their own costumes or the ones in the book. VERDICT A great addition to holiday and board book collections that will be the star at any storytime.--School Library Journal
