Herbert is deeply doubtful about his first Halloween—but with a little help from his dad and a special tiger costume, Herbert might just find confidence on Halloween night. Together, father and son practice roaring, carve a pumpkin, and venture out in search of candy. And by the end of the night, Herbert finds his doubts have melted away. A sweet introduction to Halloween and to being brave, this book is sure to delight the youngest of trick-or-treaters. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A piglet learns what trick-or-treating is all about in this gentle father-son story. "Herbert was not sure about Halloween," begins Rylant. Herbert's father attempts to share his love of the holiday, starting with an old photo of himself in a cowboy costume. Herbert remains skeptical, but asks, "Can I be a tiger?" Father and son get to work on the costume and decorations, and Herbert practices his roar for the big night. Henry's warm domestic scenes bring to mind the pig family at the heart of Jean Van Leeuwen's Tales of Oliver Pig as Rylant highlights the comfortable bond between parent and child. Wearing a cowboy outfit, Herbert's father accompanies him for a night of trick-or-treating. With his first Halloween a success, Herbert is already planning next year's costume. Perhaps he'll be back for other holiday firsts, too. Ages 2 4. Author's)
