PreS-K–Curious George delights in the wonders of Halloween in this interactive book with engaging lift-the-flap surprises. As George marvels at costumes and pumpkins—some silly, some spooky—he embarks on a festive trick-or-treating adventure, visiting neighbors and a bustling apartment building. Along the way, he receives an assortment of treats, including a tiny book and novelty glasses that spell out “BOO.” Vibrant illustrations in the style of H.A. Rey capture the excitement of the holiday, while simple text makes this an ideal pick for young listeners. Interactive flaps add an extra layer, encouraging curiosity and participation. Fans of Alyssa Satin Capucilli's Happy Halloween, Biscuit! and Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama Trick or Treat will enjoy this story.
VERDICT A cheerful holiday addition for Curious George fans and others, this is perfect for little hands eager to explore.
