Sweets And Treats

Written by Toni Trent Parker
Photography by Earl Anderson

This is a rhyming Halloween book that features photos of kids in different costumes. While there are no scary costumes, there is a reference to ghosts and witches: “Ghosts and witches don’t scare me. I’m a firefighter-brave as can be.” Children will enjoy seeing full-color photos of other kids dressed up in their costumes! Read more >>
