Book Review: 'Mouse's First Halloween' by Lauren Thompson

✰✰✰✰✰ On one spooky night, a little mouse creeps out and encounters a spooky noise. Not to worry, it's just bats. As the little mouse creeps along, he hears more spooky noises. "Flit! Flit! Flit!" " Plop! Plop! Plop!" What could the noises be? The brave little mouse continues on his night out only to discover that maybe it's fun to be just a little scared after all.

The Bottom Line: This sweet adventure tale is perfect for little ones who are tiny bit reluctant to celebrate Halloween. Illustrated in bold colors, with rhyming verses, repetition, and large print, this seasonal picture book is just a little bit creepy. Highly recommended for children ages 2 - 5 and for story times.
