ISBN 0439282780 - A fantastic idea that just kinda-sorta doesn't cut it, Make Your Own Halloween Treats is similar to The Sunmaid Raisins Play Book and the Cheerios, Froot Loops, Goldfish, M&Ms, etc. books, but instead of using your own various food items, you use re-usable stickers. If your child's hands are spotlessly clean and dry, the stickers will survive - if not, the life expectancy of them isn't long.

On the left hand page, there is a completed image and on the right, a plain one, missing details. The reader uses "more than 35 reusable stickers" to duplicate the look or create their own. A cake, a cookie and more, require the reader to help prepare for a Halloween party.

It's a great idea, and it's one that works for those books that rely on you supplying the food. Sonali Fry's text is simple and the illustrations by Judith Moffatt are nice, bright and not scary. Halloween books for really little kids aren't something I find often enough, so I was really happy to find this one - and sad to realize it won't survive most children.

This review is from: Make Your Own Halloween Treats (Board book)

This book by Sonali Fry had an excellent idea of using stickers to make faces on the opposite page from one already illustrated, i.e. Halloween cupcakes, apple bobbinge, etc. The problem is that my grandson used it twice and some of the stickers are not longer sticking so the book is really useless after a couple uses. It is a great concept but needs sticker more like colorforms than regular stickers in order to make it a valuable book.
