*********
Hallowe'en is almost here and Sleepy Sheepy knows exactly the costume he wants to wear to go trick-or treating. And luckily, there is just one left! No matter what Pa said, this was the costume Sleepy had to have.
But come the big night, not only does the costume not feel comfortable, but when he opens the door, he discovers that everyone else has had the same idea and made the same choice. Will he be one of many or will he be one of a kind?
The third in this delightful series for our youngest readers which reflects the everyday events that they, themselves, encounter. This time, in the familiar setting of the annual Hallowe'en dress-up, it's focus is on being one of the crowd or moving to the beat of your own drum. With its bold illustrations and bounce-along rhythm, it features all the familiar images that children associate with the event that they can have fun identifying and building their vocabulary, while not being too scary. At the same time, adults sharing the story can help our littlies think about why there might have only been one werewolf costume left, as well as talking about how Sleepy Sheepy responded when he saw everyone in the same costume. What would they have done?
A fun one to share as little ones prepare for their own big night.
