Touch and Feel Halloween
Touch the pumpkin's waxy orange skin. Stroke the velvet coat of a  pint-sized wizard. Halloween is a time of sensory delights, and this chunky  little board book celebrates some spine-chilling tactile sensations, like a  scruffy pirate's beard and the silky black fur of a witch's cat. Young readers  brought up onPat the  Bunnywill love feeling the various textures of Halloween, and may be  inspired with new ideas for this year's costume. DK's trademark crisp photos  against a white background are always a pleasure to see, especially with the  accompanying large, simple text. Colorful pictures of children in costume,  treasure chests, jack-o'-lanterns, and, of course, candy, will put readers in  the right mood for the spookiest night of the year.
