Do make sure that there are enough adults accompany groups of young children if you will not be there with your child. Do consider having a gathering at someone's home where there is greater control over the distribution of goodies. In such a situation, treats like fresh fruit can be safely exchanged. Don't dress your child in flammable costumes or costumes with lots of strings that can get caught onto things. Don't take a child's fears for granted.
Young children have difficulty distinguishing pretend from reality.
Parents should consider more appropriate alternatives for supporting desired behaviors. This is a cute book, long enough to be substantive, short enough to keep the little one's interest. Nice smooth rhymes. This title is well worth the money. We can't say enough about the illustrations which are wonderful.
