It's a cute book with recognizable costume dilemmas and a cute ending. I really love that when the character put on the costumes, a version of the costume would also appear beyond them. But the whole book was ruined for me by the culturally appropriative "costume", and slur, included in the book.

The book is made much better by skipping those couple of pages-which I would do if reading to anyone else-but it definitely ruined my read-through. This book is a little old but not that old. ( )

A great find for Halloween! Gabby has me reading it over and over. We love the creative little girl and her many costume changes. Pretty pictures and a super ending. ( )

Cute, pleasant story for younger readers. ( )

Halloween is almost here and Lily wants to make her own costume for trick-or-treating. Should she be a scary ghost? Or maybe a roly-poly pumpkin? Perhaps a glittery princess! After many ideas and a few wrong turns, Lily finally settles on a costume that will be perfect for a Halloween surprise with her cuddly kittens.
The new book from the duo behind Valentine Surprise is sure to capture readers' hearts once again with its sweet celebration of creativity, as Lily enjoys the fun of homemade costumes and Halloween traditions.
