Cute Halloween Coloring Book

About this book

A ghost carries a lantern under a crescent moon and stars, a kitten peeks out of a jack-o'-lantern basket with candies at its base, and an owl rides a broom past the moon and two bats. A skeleton in a bow tie dances between two pumpkins, a crooked little house leans between bare trees with bats overhead, and a bubbling cauldron sits with a big spoon and two pumpkins. The second half has a mummy child holding a treat bag, a spider dangling over two carved pumpkins, three friendly monsters around a lidded pumpkin bucket, a cratered full moon ringed by four bats and clouds, two ghosts playing catch with a striped ball, and a jack-o'-lantern bowl overflowing with wrapped candy. The characters stay cheerful, while bandages, house planks, moon craters and candy wrappers give older kids plenty of detail to work through.
