Description

Minnie's barnyard friends find a way to make her feel better when a bad dream upsets her and sends her bed rolling into town on Halloween night.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a Halloween read that won't give your kids nightmares, this one's perfect. Minnie's barnyard friends especially her buddy Moo step up in the silliest, sweetest way when a bad dream leaves her bed literally rolling away into town on Halloween night. The humor is right in that sweet spot for early readers: enough spooky fun to feel seasonal without being frightening, and the animal characters have such goofy charm that kids will want to follow along. It's particularly great for kids who love silly adventures and animal friends, and at an AR level of 2.2, it's accessible for emerging readers who want something with a bit more story than a simple picture book. Parents will appreciate that the core message about friendship and facing fears comes through loud and clear, wrapped up in all the Halloween hijinks. If your kid likes this, they'd probably also get a kick out of other Minnie and Moo adventures.
