_10 Trick-or-Treaters : a Halloween Counting Book_ is a cute addition for your Halloween collection. Your little ones at home, school, or library will enjoy Janet Schulman's simple, rhythmic counting rhymes. It's easy for the kids to chime in with, "and then there were _____," as the trick-or-treaters run off, one by one.Linda Davick's vividly colored illustrations are totally out-of-proportion which is great. There's no way your little ones will think her scenes are real, much less scary.She's created a ghost with pink socks and lavender slippers, a green-faced fuzzy monster with red sneakers and white socks, and a fat mummy with white polka-dotted purple underwear peeking out of his sloppy bandages.Linda's silly touches include a pink concrete mixer truck spewing "Party Mix" goodies instead of cement slurry, an owl toting 5 helium-filled balloons, a black cat making a 911 call, and best of all, big grins on the faces of the "scare-ers" -- the spider, frog, bat, skeleton, witch, and vampire._10 Trick-or-Treaters_ is a terrific "Isn't that silly!!" book to share with your little ones. You'll all be giggling in no time, and that should take the "scariness" out of Halloween if you have little ones enjoying this silly holiday for the first time._10 Trick-or-Treaters_ is definitely worth 5 stars from gobbysreviews, and it's inexpensive, too.ENJOY!gobbyBook Reviewer at Marathon Library
This is a fun counting Halloween story with a friendly spooky pace. Engaging but very easy to sidetrack by making sounds and adding voices. Love the illustrations. Kids love it and its not a chore for adults to read.
My son loves this book. He is 21 months and he really enjoyed reading this book in anticipation of Halloween. We read it every almost every night. He even started doing the voices of some of the monsters with me "Gimme Some!" and laughing. This is a really cute little book and it's fun to begin learning counting.
hae been reading this to my grandson since he was 6-7 mths. old ---this is the second time I ordered this book, when he was younger he keep chewing on it and it finally ripped, he would bring me the ripped pieces to read and I would have to piece it back together.....we are now reading the new copy of the book and he still loves it, anyone who comes to the house will eventually be asked to read his book ---he is 18 mths. now and still LOVES THIS BOOK!!!!
My son LOVES this book! He wants to read it several times a day and enjoys it when we count the trick-or-treaters on each page, and count the candy on the last page. For some reason, the little pirate trick-or-treater scares him on the page with the Halloween party, so we do that page super fast. I think it must be the eye patch. Ah well, he's only 18 months. ;)
I checked this out of the library last year for my daughter who was then 9 months old and I thought it was a really cute book. So this year I bought it for her. She is now 21 months old and this is the best $5 I've ever spent for her. She absolutely loves this book, she will literally not leave home without it. She has learned to count from it and can name all the costumes. It has a wonderful rhyme which luckily does not drive me crazy when I have to read it dozens of times a day and the bright colors and cute pictures are great too. I highly recommend this book. I'm just sorry I didn't buy the board book format as our copy is now showing considerable wear and tear from being loved so much.
My son received this book for his first birthday, and right up until he turned two it was his absolute favorite book ('Where's Spot' was a close second.)It has an easy to read rhyming story, which is also easy to remember. If your child likes reading books over and over like mine does it can be useful when they can turn the pages and you can recite the story without having to look at the words. Don't get me wrong, I love to read my son stories while he's sitting on my lap, but when he's demanding the story for the 10th or 11th time in a row, it's nice to also be able to pick up a few toys while reading.The book also made him really interested in numbers. It definitely helped him learn his numbers through 10, and peaked his curiosity about what came next - by the time he was 2-1/4 he was counting to forty-six, after which time he'd get bored. The book also has great illustrations.The only note I would make to the athiests is that one of the pages mentions 'heaven': "Eight trick or treaters under racing clouds in heaven..." - not many words rhyme with 'seven'.
I'm a huge Halloween buff so when the season rolled around I wanted to get my (at the time) 10 month old son a Halloween themed book. After reading lots of reviews I went with this one and I couldn't be more pleased. It is fun to read and gets us both smiling. Over all precious and even though it is almost March we are still reading it! Too cute to be seasonal. It is staying on our bookshelf year round.
