Thank you, Dave W. Ball, for Hiccup's Haunted Halloween Hunt. I’ve saved mentioning the best for last, and that’s the fact that on practically every page there’s a seek-and-find activity that young children will love to play. I enjoyed attempting each of these myself, especially since I was able to complete each one. I found this story to be the perfect and entertaining Halloween adventure for young children who are exploring and developing their skills for playing these kinds of activity games and who are learning about how all the creatures, the broomsticks and candles, and pumpkins and everything can all come together to make this holiday a time of lighthearted fun. The wonderful illustrations by Design Pickle enhance the reading experience.
