Halloween Book Pick: Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat, a Halloween board book by Melanie Walsh is a fun lift the flap book for toddlers up to pre-school age kids. In Trick or Treat, children can lift the flap on each page to find out what creepy creatures lurk behind them. The illustrations are cute & colorful yet simple enough for toddlers to really enjoy!
Overall, this is an excellent board book to introduce young kids to all things Halloween! They will enjoy lifting the flaps – which are thankfully quite sturdy – over and over again!

We hope you will check out the rest of our Halloween picks this week and next!
