Description
Pumpkin, candles, spider, witch, skeleton, laughing, facepaint… introduce your little ones to the words of the Halloween season with cute characters, bright colours and playful scenes.

From pumpkin picking to dressing-up fun and slime to eyeballs, this charming book introduces a range of different spooky scenes and objects. Along with the halloween items, each scene contains one feeling word and one action word to spot, such as excited and running – colour-coded circles point them out. With a glitter-accented cover that adds visual and tactile interest, this fun book inspires a deeper knowledge of the world, introduces language skills and supports emotional intelligence.

An original, contemporary take on teaching first words, the My World in 100 Words series of board books helps children ages 0–3 boost vocabulary, engage with the world around them and become familiar with specific subjects. With bright, playful illustrations from Sophie Beer, each book explores a different theme, including starting nursery and Christmas. With 10 words per page and variation between full scenes and visual lists, there’s plenty for children to look at and enjoy.

Other titles in the My World in 100 Words series: Christmas, Nursery, Home.
 
Biographical note

Sophie Beer (née Blackhall-Cain) is an award-winning illustrator/author living in Brisbane, Australia. She completed a dual degree in Law and Creative Industries with distinction at Queensland University of Technology but found the whole law thing unutterably dull and now works primarily in children''s and editorial illustration. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule: art should never be boring. When she''s not illustrating and writing, she thinks a lot about plants, animals, music and books.
