We're Going on a Ghost Hunt

Four bunnies set off into the Halloween dark to find five little ghosts, each one hidden under a flap for small hands to lift. On the way they pass screechy bats, black cats, white owls and plenty of pumpkins, and they still have trick-or-treating to finish before they hurry home for bed. The counting gives the hunt a clear shape, so the story is spooky in a friendly way, with suspense but no real scares.

Martha Mumford is also the author of We're Going on an Egg Hunt and We're Going on an Elf Chase, and the publisher describes this as an action-packed interactive book. It suits toddlers who want a Halloween story they can join in with, and it reads well aloud on the night itself.
