I liked this book a lot because I think it is very fun and interactive for young children. I read this book to my kindergarteners on Halloween and they loved being able to turn the pages and open an extended page to reveal a new character. The book is about little critter going to a Halloween party and he is really afraid of all the costumes until his friends reveal themselves underneath and he realizes it's all fake. This book doesn't really teach anything but I think it is a great book with fun illustrations that really capture children's attention. If there was anything to take away from this book I think that it would be beneficial to read before Halloween to help kids who might be afraid of the costumes when they go trick or show more treating, so maybe this book could be beneficial in teaching children that Halloween is made up and everything you see is a costume. show less
Little Critter and his little sister are preparing for a halloween party at a spooky hunted house. They arrive and enjoy fun games and activites with all their friends, but they are constantly concerned about the monsters that may be lerking behind closet doors. Jump right into Happy Halloween, Little Critter and pull back the flaps to find out what monsters are also at the party.
53 months - lift the flap like and each friend unveils themselves to Little Critter and wishes him Happy Halloween. Kids will enjoy but gets a bit tedious for parents.

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures. Mayer was one of the first illustrators to be credited for using this format. Five more books in this series were to follow. Mayer joined Golden Publishing, creators of Little Golden Books, in 1976. Through them he has sold his "Little Critter" and "Little Monster" series, which are popular with beginning readers. His title Just Me and My Dad made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. In 2015, his title Little Critter: Just a Little Love, also made the list. His holiday book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is also a bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
