It's Halloween, and Little Critter and Little Sister are going to a party at a haunted house. Bobbing for apples and playing Pin the Broom on the Witch are fun, but they wonder what kinds of monsters, mummies, and skeletons are lurking in the shadows.
Quick Summary
When Halloween rolls around, Little Critter and his sister head to a haunted house party where the real fun is in the classic party games bobbing for apples and a goofy round of Pin the Broom on the Witch before they start wondering what spooky monsters might be lurking behind the curtains. The story keeps things light and goofy rather than truly scary, so even kids who get a little nervous about ghosts can enjoy the humor and bright, cartoony illustrations. It's a perfect fit for early readers in kindergarten through third grade, especially those who love holiday themes and easy-to-follow plots, and the short sentences make it a breeze for reluctant readers to tackle on their own. Parents will appreciate that the book focuses on friendly, silly Halloween fun without any frightening content, making it a safe choice for a classroom read-aloud or a cozy bedtime story. If your little one likes this festive Little Critter adventure, they might also enjoy "Merry Christmas, Little Critter!" which delivers the same gentle humor and holiday spirit.
