When looking for a simple yet entertaining introduction to Halloween for the very youngest readers, search no further.
Lewis provides descriptive clues such as, "I can float through the air, and I like to shout, BOO!" on the left-hand page. Then, in a larger font on the right-hand page, she voices the refrain, "What am I? What could I be?" Mills reveals enough of the creature in question to ensure a successful guess as young ones open the sturdy fold to see the child-friendly image and confirm their answers: "I am a spooky ghost on Halloween. That's me!" A friendly witch, pumpkin to carve, funny bat, silly scarecrow, hooting owl, happy monster, black cat, dancing skeleton, busy spider and trick-or-treater are all included in this easy interactive guessing game. More adventuresome readers may find the pictures pedestrian or a bit saccharine, but this nonthreatening approach will surely satisfy those who wish to avoid the scary or creepy Halloween offerings that abound.
A solid introduction for toddlers. (Picture book. 2-4)

PreS-Gr 2-This book is a series of 11 easy riddles with the answers, each an iconic symbol of the holiday, partially hidden behind a sturdy flap: "I can float through the air/and I like to shout, BOO!/What am I? What could I be?" Readers are likely to guess the answer before the flap is lifted as a portion of the illustration is shown on the riddle page. Once the flap is opened, the complete picture is revealed. "I am a spooky ghost/on Halloween./That's me!" The large, vivid cartoons lend themselves to group sharing. No new ground is covered here, but the book design is pleasing and attractive. Pages are of heavy stock so they should be able to tolerate plenty of handling. This book will be useful with youngsters who are not familiar with American Halloween traditions as well as very young children. A fun, not-too-scary addition.-Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN
