<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Feeling apprehensive about his first trick-or-treating venture on Halloween, Little Monster joins his Papa on a trek through the neighborhood, where encounters with witches, vampires, and other costumed beings help him overcome his fears.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Little Monster is going trick-or-treating for the very first time. There are going to be all kinds of creatures about, like witches and vampires and zombies. And lots of spooky noises too! As Little Monster makes his way around the neighborhood, Papa is there to help guide him through his fears as they encounter one scary thing after another...until they reach the last house of the night. It's the spookiest house of all, and--YIKES!--there might be a surprise waiting for them. Will Little Monster be brave?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Charming full-bleed watercolor illustrations featuring cheerful zombies, ghouls, and an assortment of adorable monsters combine with comforting rhyming text to create a playful Halloween outing that is sure to please little monsters everywhere. Recommended for collections and perfect for seasonal storytime." <b>--<i>School Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"Told in rollicking rhymes, the story delivers humorous, not-too-scary chills for youngest readers. The portrayal of a warm, patient relationship between child and father is welcome, as is the sight of a parent accompanying a child on nighttime trick-or-treating rounds, not universally presented in Halloween books. The delightful, expressive, atmospheric illustrations depict adorable, multicolored monsters--it's definitely a diverse neighborhood...Treat little ones to this sweet, entertaining holiday story." <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>"Much of the humor derives from Leick's jaunty watercolors, in which paws, clawed feet, and fangs protrude from the already outlandish young monsters' elaborate costumes...The frights and assurances continue until a cemetery romp suddenly turns the tables on father-son fright quotients, making for a sweet but sudden conclusion." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><br>
