PreS–Little Witch Cat is getting everything ready for the perfect Halloween. As the night descends, Little Witch Cat creates potions, tidies her space, and welcomes friends for a frightfully delightful celebration. Printed on sturdy board pages and featuring a cut-out hole for the finger puppet that is Witch Cat’s head, this book is cleverly designed to engage babies and toddlers. Each page showcases Witch Cat in a variety of spooky settings, from the graveyard to her spider-clad home, and the primary colors used throughout the book are those traditional to the Halloween holiday. Black, purple, orange, and green are found in nearly every scene, and readers will enjoy discovering the many details placed in each image. Intriguing and new vocabulary is peppered among familiar words to give children a variety of experiences as they share the book with their caregivers. Witch Cat’s peek-a-boo appearance on each page is especially fun for children, and because a caregiver’s finger can make Witch Cat move in various ways, the book feels especially dynamic. Whether children are engaging with caregivers in a lap-sit read or exploring the book on their own, they will appreciate the fun and cheerful story of this accessible Halloween book.
VERDICT A fun addition to all library Halloween collections for very young readers.
