This new addition to the series for beginning readers was adapted from THE LITTLES AND THE GREAT HALLOWEEN SCARE (Scholastic 1975).Every Halloween, Tom and Lucy try to think up a trick that will really scare their parents -- but nothing works. This year, the two children are sure they'll find something scary in the Biggs' attic. And they do -- a hairy spider! Lucy gets caught in the spider's web, but Tom manages to fend off the insect. They both escape to the Biggs' kitchen, where they get trapped for hours inside a jack-o-lantern. When they finally get back to their apartment, they find two very frightened parents. Success is bittersweet for Tom and Lucy, who promise not to do anything quite that scary again.

Children who have reached the toilet-training stage will think this is the funniest book they've ever seen. Most parents will smile, too, as children and parents turn the pages and follow the antics of a comical group of animals. Here, in amusing words and pictures, is gentle encouragement to toddlers who are going through their toilet-training stage. The color illustrations on every page are large and bold, and the story concludes with a sound button for kids to press. A little chick watches as a little pig, a dog, a pair of penguins, and several other animals take turns sitting on the toilet. At last, it's little chick's turn. The book's final two-page spread features a pop-up showing all the other animals shouting Bravo! as the little chick flushes the toilet. When kids press the sound button on the toilet's lid, they hear the toilet flush.
