My 7 year old daughter and I collect the Biscuit books, and this is the best one yet! The lift flaps are wonderful! Kids can get really involved in the book by guessing what is coming next. This is a great book for my daughter's age, since she can read it herself. Younger children will also love it, espcially lifting the flaps on the pages. I work with toddlers and plan on using this book with them when we start talking about Halloween.

Although this book has "paper" pages, they are glossy and thicker than regular paper books. It holds up well with an 11 mo. old turning the pages and sitting on the book. The "flaps" on the pages won't tear off and are fun for the kids to lift up and see what is hiding underneath. We read this book to my daughter as Halloween approached. She was 11 mo. old and we've had to read "woof" every night since (Halloween was several weeks ago).

My 2 year old loves all the biscuit books! This is the newest addition to her collection, and it is a favorite already!

This was a bad impulse purchase. I scanned it to make sure the pictures weren't scary, but I didn't read it from cover to cover. As endearing as some may find these characters to be, this story annoys me. Reading all the, "Woof's" gets old after the first sitting, and the story is just too sappy for me.

In addition, I don't like Halloween books that show children trick-or-treating alone. I know this is nitpicking, but I don't want my child getting the idea that wandering the streets alone at night is a safe thing to do. On the plus side, this is a lift-the-flap book, and little ones enjoy the hide-and-seek qualities these kinds of books offer.

There are so many wonderful Halloween books today, this isn't one of them.
