Very Cute Book

My daughter, who is 18 months old, loves this book. The art is very cute, and well drawn, lots of fall colors. Nice (thin cardboard-like) sturdy pages, not flimsy paper. Story line is cute; it is about two naughty kittens, Trick and Treat, who are always getting into trouble while they help their parents prepare for a Halloween party at their house. There are lift the flap and different sparkly paper on all but two of the pages. The last pages both open up to reveal the whole party in full swing and Trick and Treat asleep under the table. The rhyming is a bit awkward at first, but you get use to the rhythm after reading it a couple of times. Exert from the book - "Father Cat and little Treat set out their creations. But somebody has made a mess of all their preparations. (Open the flap to read)For silly Trick's all tangled up, in heaps of decorations." Overall a good book that I would recommend to any parent.

We read this every night - it's not even Halloween!

My daughter is 3.5, and has ask for this book to be read to her almost every night since buying it for her 2 Halloween's ago. Thie illustrations are beautiful, and the story of the two kittens is catchy. My little girl can recite it word for word, and loves to find something new in the colorful pictures each time we flip the pages. This is a great read regardless if it is Halloween or not - highly recommend!

Charming and delightfully illustrated!

I saw this book and had to have it for my little niece! Young children will enjoy reading and seeing all the mischief little kittens Trick and Treat get into as they help their mother and father prepare for a Halloween party. The illustrations are just wonderful and each page has a portion that is decorated in a metallic color that shows through from under a flap that has a small cut-out. You lift the flap to see what mischief the kittens are into. And you also get to see how the metallic color fits into the illustration. It's a shiny bit of color, and it really adds a fun element to the illustrations. I think pre-schoolers will love Trick and Treat, and this book! Turn off the TV and read it with your kids!
