The Most Haunted House in America

Booktalk: When the Skeleton Drummers receive an invitation from the First Lady to perform at the biggest Halloween party of a lifetime–or afterlife–the band must pack their instruments, rise from the earth, and prepare to rock the White House. With gusto and bone-rattling beats, the skeletons BOOM! BANG! and CLANG! as the crowd of trick-or-treaters dance on the president’s lawn. But when the party moves inside, something’s not quite right: there’s a chill in the air and a prickle of fright. There’s one thing you might not know: The White House is haunted from top to toe!

The Tinysaurs Trick-or-Treat
by Patricia Hegarty (Author) and Dean Gray (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Clawdie, Spike, and Roary prepare for Halloween by decorating the house and getting ready to welcome the trick-or-treaters who come to their door. But the Tinysaurs realize that they don’t have any candy to give out! Clawdie comes up with the idea that they should go trick-or-treating to get candy, and then they can give it out to the kids who come to their door. And while they’re able to collect some candy, they’re all having problems with their costumes. Can anything be done to save Halloween?

Snippet:
It’s that spooky time of year again,
when ghosts and witches are seen.
There is dressing up to trick-or-treat —
the Tinysaurs LOVE Halloween!
