Beep! Beep! It’s Halloween! Follow Little Blue Truck and his good friend Toad as they pick up their animal friends for a costume party. This fun Halloween book will get readers eager to dress up in costumes and enjoy the fall festivities. 

The book uses a kid-friendly format, with the first page having four short rhyming lines. The second page repeats the same question, “Under the mask who do you see?” Readers will have fun lifting the flaps of this sturdy board book to find out who’s dressed up in each costume! The last scene shows Blue getting into the holiday spirit by dressing up as a ghost. The silly costumes, such as a cow dressed up as a king, will inspire readers to be creative with their own Halloween costumes.  

Little Blue Truck’s Halloween uses simple vocabulary and rhyming that is perfect for young readers. Each illustration uses fall colors with lots of Halloween details such as a full moon, black cats, and jack-o-lanterns. In addition, the forest animals get into the spirit and dress up. For example, one page shows a squirrel dressed up as a witch and a raccoon wearing a colorful hat peeking out of a tree. Adults can encourage children to find the black cat that appears on each page. Add even more fun by having readers count the pumpkins.   

Get ready for Halloween by reading Little Blue Truck’s Halloween, which leaves out spooky details and instead focuses on the fun of dressing up in costumes. The interactive book will keep readers entertained again and again. For more Halloween-related books, check out a copy of Dragon’s Halloween by Dav Pilkey and The Halloween Queen by Joan Holub.
