Illustrators Olga and Aleksey Ivanov received their classical artistic training in Moscow, Russia, before immigrating to the United States in 2002. Among their many books for children are the Charlotte's Web I Can Read Books. They live in Denver, Colorado.
I have been looking forward to autumn for a while and it finally feels real with a halloween read. This is a cute book full of friendship and working together for compromise. They little ballerinas are adorable as always and using this story going though the steps of planning and figuring out matching halloween costumes is fun and a good lesson. There is also a page to interact with stickers and design your own outfit at the end which is a one time event but looks fun.

My daughter absolutely adored this Mia: Time to Trick or Treat. The illustrations were gorgeous. We spent as much time admiring the pictures as we did enjoying the story. The story was a nice lesson on compromise and friendship, which is a message no child can every hear enough of. We've read this story multiple times now, and are still enjoying it. Bonus: There are stickers!
I love this book for the stickers. I'm not going to play with them because I'll be giving these books away to children, but I'm going to say this now. I love stickers, and little kids will love the stickers just as much, or more. This book is not only a fun Halloween book that children will enjoy, it also teaches them about compromising. You can't always get your way, especially when you want to work together with friends, so it's important to learn how to collaborate on a project. Just make sure to do it faster than these girls. I highly doubt you can prepare costumes in less than a day, though I am glad Mia and her friends worked everything out and everyone ended up happy.
