Trick or Treat? (with Scary Flaps) by Melanie Walsh Ages 3-5 16 pages Candlewick July 2009 Board book     For a young child awaiting Halloween, this lift-the-flap board book offers all sort of spooky surprises. Flip a flap, and you'll discover an owl perched in a tree, a spider spinning its web, and a black bat hanging upside-down. You'll also be invited to stir a cauldron to make a spell, open a cupboard to find some skeletons, and look inside a bag to see what kind of goodies were collected on a Trick-or-Treat outing. Once read you've read it aloud a few times, your preschooler will have fun guessing what's behind the flap as you go over the book again and again. Here's a subtle way to work on memory skills during story time.     web reviews   Bob Walch/2009 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
