Halloween can be filled with fun and candy. But it also brings some safety concerns that children need to be made aware of. Each page has a bright and colorful photograph of children dressed in Halloween costumes. The black lettering with an orange background really sets the mood. Each page talks about safety concerns and how to get the most out of the trick-or-treating experience. The author has presented the facts in a fun and non-scary manner. The book also includes instructions on how to make your own candy bucket. The list of needed items is simple and if not already on hand, should be inexpensive. The instructions are clear and easy for a child to make with minimal help. The end of the book has a glossary for those hard to understand words, a section with books for additional reading, and some interesting internet sites to visit that relate to Halloween.

I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.

Filled with large photographs of costumed children enjoying Halloween, this book provides basic safety information about how to be careful during the holiday. For instance, children are reminded to be cautious as they cross the street, to have adults check the candy they gather while trick or treating, and to make sure their costumes don't include materials that can hurt others. The text is easy to understand and perfect for beginning readers.
