A treasure hunt challenge to keep young readers intrigued! The Great Big Halloween Hunt is an interactive book where children can go on their very own treasure hunt. Each page asks them to find a different halloween themed object. Children then have to lift the different flaps to try to find the objects on each page.

The flaps will keep children guessing but also gives them a good opportunity to develop their fine motor skills as they practice lifting them up. The illustrations are simple but friendly with lots of halloween themed objects as well as different characters including a witch and a cat. They're bright and colourful without being overwhelming; this should help the youngest readers to focus on some of the specific objects more easily.

A nice story to enjoy with babies or toddlers at home.
