Corduroy's Halloween

A completely engaging way to celebrate this holiday with your small child. This book allows your child to enjoy an old favorite character through interactive play as you read. Beautiful illustrations. A perfect Halloween gift for that special little one.

This Corduroy book is perfect for the pre-schooler. I would not recommend for ages under 3 because of the flaps.

My two-year-old daughter LOVES this book. We read it at least four times a day. I bought it to teach her the traditions of one of my favorites holidays, Halloween, and it's been an amazing hit. She's so excited for Halloween this week, and it's because of this book! The illustrations are beautiful, and my daughter loves lifting the flaps. I didn't realize this until I had children, but it's difficult to teach little ones about holidays for the first time--they've never experienced them before, so they don't know what to expect. This book was so helpful in explaining costume parties, trick-or-treating, etc. I will admit--this is not the Corduroy I grew up with. This book has nothing to do with the original Corduroy, so if you buy this book thinking you'll be sharing the Corduroy of your childhood with your kids, you'll be disappointed. However, if you buy it knowing it has nothing to do with the original Corduroy, I think you'll be very pleased because your kids will love this book! I also recommend the Corduroy Christmas and Easter books!

This book is one of the best I've found to teach my 2-year old about the traditions of Halloween. The book is beautifully illustrated with autumn scenes of fallen leaves, pumpkin patches, and not-too-scary trick-or-treaters. I was able to reinforce many familiar objects (pumpkins, apples, and scarecrows) with my toddler while introducing her to new ones (Indian corn, skeletons, and witches) The lift-the-flaps were cleverly hidden on each page which contributed to her enjoyment and attentiveness. The only drawback I found was that it left my daughter longing for candy even though the book depicts Corduroy handing out both sweets and a jar of pennies to visitors.
