Happy Halloween from the Very Busy Spider: A Lift-the-Flap Book

10 pp. | Penguin/World of Eric Carle | August, 2020 | Trade ISBN 978-0-59309-710-6 $12.99
(2) PS It's Halloween, and the Very Busy Spider is looking for her friends, and, one by one, from beneath flaps, they each appear. The sky changes from blue to purple to a warm black as the friends are located, and the only actual holiday motif to be found is a carved pumpkin being nibbled upon by, natch, the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Reviewing a foldout board book from a PDF requires a leap of faith, but this one looks like simple, un-scary fun for the youngest Halloweeners.
