My Halloween Treats:
Lift-the-Flap & Scratch-and-Sniff

by Jan E. Gerver
Illustrated by Pattie Silver-Thompson

When my daughter was little, she never got tired of lift-the-flap books. No matter how many times she peeked, it was always a surprise. The surprises under the flaps in My Halloween Treats are tasty scents to smell. Little ones will sniff peppermint, chocolate, bubblegum and more — sure they don't smell exactly like the real treats but they have an appealing scent and the flaps are so much fun. So is the progression of tiny animal trick-or-treaters as they go from door to door collecting goodies. It's a nice introduction to Halloween for the toddler set. The simple, colorful illustrations are printed on sturdy cardboard. The book even has a handy carry handle for small hands to grip, making this a great Halloween on-the-go book.
