*What Am I? Halloween* by Alain Crozon





 
What Am I? Halloween
by Alain Crozon
ages 0-4 7 pages Chronicle Books August 1999 Hardcover (lift-the-flap)    

French artist Alain Crozon's broad, bold paint strokes take What Am I? Halloween to a frightfully fun level for the littlest lift-the-flap aficionados. Eighteen high-contrast mystery Halloween creatures and icons make lifting the flaps a treat for toddlers and early preschoolers.

The front of each flap features a close-up aspect of the full-view reveal, and simple yet clever rhymes hint at each "What am I?" on the facing page:
When the moon is dark
I like to prowl
When the moon is full
I like to howl
for example, helps to uncover the identity of a long-snouted wolf of cartoonish proportions.

What Am I? Halloween ends on a less spooky surprise note, reminding kids that Halloween is about the decorations and lore and dressing up and, most of all, fun. A great introduction to what can sometimes be an overwhelming concept for wee ones.
