Reach for this book when your toddler starts noticing the spooky decorations in your neighborhood and feels a mix of curiosity and hesitation about the dark or 'monsters.'

By following Bizzy Bear through a haunted house, children learn that things that seem creepy at first, like ghosts or spiders, are often just friendly characters waiting to celebrate. This board book uses sturdy sliders and tabs to give your child control over the environment, which is a powerful psychological tool for building bravery.
