It’s Halloween, and Squeaky Bat can’t help but squeak with joy because it’s her favorite time of year! An adorable, squishy vinyl bat shows through cut-outs in the center of this book to appear on every page. Young readers will love squeezing the bat and hearing her squeak in this fun, rhyming board book!
This book is absolutely adorable! The little bat makes a squeaky noise, which would have driven my dog crazy if he was still alive. It reminds me of one of his toys.
The squeaky bat appears on each page (on the right side).
Adorable illustrations. Cute and colorful.
It Sounds Like Halloween!
By Maggie Fischer
Illustrated by Gareth Williams
Publication Date: 8/9/2022
Price: $11.99 | Silver Dolphin
ISBN-13: 9781667200323
Ages 3-5
It’s Halloween night, a time for tricks and for treats. There are spooky sounds all around, but they’re not all what they seem! Is that a werewolf’s howl or just a cute little dog in a Halloween costume, barking at the moon? With picture prompts to push the sound buttons throughout the story, young readers will have an eerily good time discovering what is making each sound in this fun, interactive board book.
I think this book is driving my family crazy. I keep pressing the buttons. My favorite is the bottom one (organ). It plays a classic creepy Halloween song (I wish I knew what it was called).
Children will have a great time pressing the buttons to hear that sounds that corresponds to the pages.

Relive the frightful magic of the beloved Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas through this interactive storybook with handheld slide projector and 20 spooktacular images of all your favorite movie characters!
This is a super cool book, especially if you love the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.
This book features actual photos from the film.
The projector is really cool. At first I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work properly, then I realized that I needed to adjust the end of it to bring the images in focus.
Here is one of Jack and Santa.
What a great way to bring the book “alive” by having a “movie” to watch along with reading the book. Cool!
