It's time for a super-adorable, Halloween read for the youngest bookworms out there! At least, I'm hoping this one is super cute. It's supposed to be a game of mix and match, which I'm thinking will mean that the entire thing is in 2-3 layers, which can be mixed to form different pumpkins???????? If that's the case, I'm ready to see what this one holds.
Oh, and I had to smile when I saw the huge description for the book below because I'm betting there will only be a few words at most in these pages, where the blurb reads like a mini-story in itself.
Anyway, it's time for some fun! I hope.

MY TIDBITS
Halloween joy bubbles from every page as a fun array of pumpkins are introduced, one after the other.
This is a cute, bright, and enjoyable board book, which lets readers not only get to know the pumpkins inside but lets them get involved themselves. The book holds brightly illustrated, simple scenes with a different pumpkin on each page. From vampire to mermaid to UFO and more, these pumpkins are presented with style. It's enjoyable just to flip through and discover each one. But the extra fun comes thanks to the horizontally split pages, which allow readers to mix the top of each pumpkin with the bottom from another. This adds a nice touch of humor and creativity...and might have readers already inspired as to what their own pumpkin carving creativity might bring.
There is a short, playful phrase for each pumpkin, which introduces it with flair. This text is no problem for the age group to understand and lively enough to hold their interest. But then, the entire book grabs in with its pumpkin parade.
This is an adorable book to create Halloween smiles and adds a delightful activity along the way.
