We love Sandra Boynton’s board books. But we’ve noticed some of her books are great and others just so-so. This is one is tolerable. The long list of costume possibilities is slightly tedious but the pictures are sweet. It is similar to Spot’s Halloween. Since we really love Night Night, Little Pookie, this book naturally had a little more charm for both my son and I.

Starting spooky season off a little early (the right way!) 😎
SO cute!
A little pig tries on costume after costume until he finds just the right Halloween disguise.
GREAT Halloween-themed read aloud for toddlers and PreK. I think this would make a nice flannelboard story too if you created a paper doll-like pig character and made a variety of costumes for him to try on.

I haven't heard my youngest laugh this hard with a book before - her reaction was priceless and her laughter was infectious. The illustrations and silly words make this a great Halloween read aloud for toddlers.

Can't say enough on how much I love Sandra Boynton books. This is super spookie pookie-ish! Nice rhyming text and love the colors in the illustrations.

Cute.
This book is great! Alistair really liked this one. He would smile when we would even just say the title. A fun book about choosing a costume for Halloween with fun rhymes.
Sandra Boyton does it again with this rollicking rhyme about little "Pookie" and his quest to find the perfect Halloween costume. The illustrations great also.

Sandra Boynton cracks me up--she does simple brilliantly! What will the pig wear for a costume for Halloween? A dragon? A banana? You'll have to read to find out . . . get ready to giggle!

My daughter, a big Pookie fan, loved this new addition from Boynton. Perfect for the Halloween season, or for any kids who enjoy dressing up.
I'm sad that I didn't have this book when my son Luke was struggling with wearing costumes and trick-or-treating when he was 3. It's a perfect social story for all of the above.
Pookie is an adorable little pig, who your child may already know from many other classic Boynton books (like "What's Wrong, Little Pookie?"). Pookie's mother explains that tonight is Halloween:
Tonight when it's dark
we will walk down the street.
We will visit our friends.
You can say, "Trick or Treat!"

This is a wonderful board book about Pookie's search for the perfect halloween costume all while introducing the conventions of trick or treating to a young reader. Cute and brief.

Oh what shall you be for Halloween? Pookie is looking for the perfect costume. So cute!
A fun book! The boys really liked it.
A solid 4! The baby loved it.
One of our favorites. We read it throughout the year.
My wee one just loves Pookie... and at almost 2, I hear about it alllll day long. I think we read this one about 4 times today, and the rest of the time it was "pookie dance!".

I love visiting friend's houses to see what they read...and if they have kids I somehow was not aware were born.

The best Pookie I've read. Which, if you check my reviews, you can see isn't saying much, BUT I really did enjoy it.
