This is an amazing pop up book for children with incredible detail. Children will see creepy characters with silly surprises. Features ten large pop-up treats with whimsical rhymes that lead little ones on a humorous hunt for creepy characters. My child and I both enjoyed this book as we celebrated Halloween.

"Snappy Little Halloween" is a pop-up book featuring assorted Halloween characters (witches, ghosts, mummies etc).

The illustrations are incredible. The children love to see the scary creatures spring out. Each page contains a short verse on a character.

"Halloween's a time for spells. This witch makes strange things grow.
But - oops! - she's made her nose too long - OH! OH! OH!"

I wasn't happy with the verses. I felt that the author wasn't making a genuine effort to describe these characters. In particular, there is a suit of arms, yet young children (two's and three's) who may not have ever seen one, wouldn't know what the characters name was because it is not mentioned. The same can be said for Frankenstein.

When I first saw the book, I thought the mummies,witches and monsters might scare my 2 year old daughter. I was so wrong. She loved the rhyming, repetative words at the end of each page. "Halloween's a time for spells, this witch makes strange things grow. But OOPS she's made her nose too long, OH OH OH!" Long after Halloween was over (much to mom's chagrin) we still want the Halloween book. And she could recite it word for word to me, without my prompting her. She would bring it out at times other than bedtime and want to read it to me- or vice versa. The pop -ups were colorful and animated. I would recommend the Snappy series to all moms of toddlers. We had the Christmas and Snowtime versions last Christmas ( my daughter was 18 months) she would sit for half an hour as long as someone read them to her over and over. A great way to introduce kids to reading!

This is another great book in the Snappy series. The pop-ups are big, colorful, and amusing. My 13 month old daughter loves it and we do too.

Everything in the previous reviews is absolutely on the mark! An additional joy to this book for my 4-year-old is the way in which many of the pages can be made to "perform" -- the skeleton dances, the haunted suit of armor can "clank" up and down, etc. My son is a great fan of puppetry (my girlfriend is a professional puppeteer, which helps), and this brings a little of a show into bedtime (or any time) reading. Several of his friends also have the book and love it!

These books are wonderful!.. I am a school teacher, specifically I teach French to the elementary level. The children love these books. I translate everything into French and it really helps the kids to remember their numbers, colors etc.
Thanks for such a wonderful teaching aid.

The snappy little book series is great! My daughter is 2, she absolutely loves these book, they are her favorite. The images are so bright and colorful and they are easy to use for learning colors and counting. The halloween book is no exception. I got this book just before halloween this year and my daughter loved it too. The pictures are fun and put us in the spirit of halloween.

I have started the collection of all the Snappy books! The pictures are so bright that my 1 year old daughter loves them! I am so glad that the authors and illustrators keep them coming, you are doing a great job! The holiday ones are terrific and make great gifts. This is our standard gift for our neice and nephew! Keep up the good work!

I received this book and it was ripped and in bad shape. I contacted the seller who sent me another at no charge and insisted that I keep the torn one that I originally received. The second book was in worst shape then the first book. I just purchased a new online instead. The books were in bad shape but their customer service was 100%.
