Our Thoughts

Halloween is by far one of my favourite holidays of the year. I love the colours, the pumpkins, the costumes and the excitement that you can feel building up in your neighborhood.

This was an adorable hardcover book for young children. I loved the simplicity but impact with the words that were chosen to tell the story. I had so much fun with our little one being able to change the tone of my voice as we turned each page and explored Halloween night with different costumes and treats. Each page also included an activity, such as which costume is your favourite, how many pumpkins can you see? This encouraged participation from my older son, who wanted to participate in reading time with his littler sister.

The illustrations are just lovely and bring the spirit and magic of Halloween to life. Some of the images are slightly raised and sparkly, our little one enjoyed running her hands over the images and the sparkles gave this spooky holiday a bright and whimsical feel.

It’s Time for Hallowe’en is a wonderful addition to your home library for your little one as you work up this magical night.

You can purchase a copy of this book on Amazon.
