Our Review

This charming board book brings Sandra Boynton's signature whimsy to the Halloween season, following a group of increasingly nervous chickens as they encounter classic spooky sights. From a pumpkin with flickering eyes to a wizard and witch, the simple, rhythmic text builds gentle suspense perfect for very young readers. The sturdy pages and bold, cartoonish illustrations make this an ideal first Halloween book for toddlers who might find the holiday both exciting and a little frightening.

Boynton's genius lies in transforming potentially scary concepts into friendly, approachable encounters through her beloved animal characters and playful language. The book masterfully balances just enough spookiness to feel festive without ever crossing into truly frightening territory, making it a wonderful introduction to Halloween traditions. Parents seeking a non-scary, engaging seasonal read will find this delivers exactly the gentle fun and reassurance that makes Boynton's books so enduringly popular with the preschool set.
