Act it out for more Halloween fun!
Oh, I love reading this to my kids during the Halloween season. We have actually gotten very good at acting this book out so we become a bat. We become an owl, a cat, a ghost, a goblin bones and a wizard. The kids love moving around and at the end, you could just yell trick-or-treat. How fun is that?!

These books are silly but my kids love them. We've watched the author read live via Scholastic on Storyvoice a few times (their host Mike is awesome) and then my kids like to read them over and over again. Then they try and create their own versions of the books too.

Lovely Halloween book. Children loved the pace and flow of the story. I was expecting something more at the end - like a creation from all of the things she swallowed, but instead it just says "trick or treat".
