Spooky Pookie by Sandra Boynton
Featuring one of Sandra Boynton's most beloved characters, Pookie gets ready for Halloween in this silly board book!
“It's Halloween time, and Pookie the pig is delighted…Boynton dresses Pookie in a series of cheerful costumes, including a dragon, a bunny, and even a caped superheroPookie eventually settles on the holiday classic, a ghost, by way of a bedsheet…Little readers will enjoy the notion of transforming themselves with their own Halloween costumes while reading this book, and a few parents may get some ideas as well. Boynton's clean, sharp illustrations are as good as ever.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“Boynton’s Little Pookie is celebrating Halloween, and picking a costume is proving difficult. Lively rhymes list off the options Mom offers (“A clown would be funny./ A pumpkin is cute./ You would make a fine bunny/ in the white bunny suit”) as Little Pookie raids the costume chest. The final selection—a classic white-sheet ghost outfit—proves frightening enough to scare Mom, so it’s the clear winner. It’s a fun Halloween diversion that should easily please Little Pookie’s (and Boynton’s) many devotees.” * Publishers Weekly *
