But that doesn't mean that a child with diabetes has to miss out on all the fun. Halloween is a tradition inspiring creativity, fun socialization, and make-believe. Like all the titles in the series, Trick or Treat for Diabetes can serve many purposes. It is an ideal tool for parents who want to share with their diabetic child a kid-centered book about other kids with similar needs. But this book can also be a great classroom tool.
Teachers can read aloud the book to instruct all students about the special needs of diabetic kids.
Anything can happen on Halloween night. Things seem to get worse after the black cat crosses the kids' path. Mark Teague's acrylic illustrations burst with color, action, and personality as they convey the enchantment of Halloween. The four books highlighted above are available in bookstores. If your local bookstore doesn't have the book you want, ask your bookseller to order it for you.
