Description
All aboard, it’s Halloween! Climb on The Halloween Train and delight in a magical journey through the joys of the spooky season.
Come along for a Halloween ride ... if you dare. But keep your eyes peeled – or you might get a scare!
From trick or treating in costumes to magic potions and spells – and, of course, witches, skeletons and zombies – this lively Australian picture book blends young readers’ perennial passion for train trips with the anticipation of Halloween.
Highly detailed, fanciful scenes make this book a joy to read again and again – but for parents and caregivers, the special ingredient is how The Halloween Train guides the reader to wind down for bedtime at the end of the story, ready to dream of magic.
From the bestselling creators of The Christmas Train comes another celebration of community, with sparkling foil and a mix of traditional painting and collage making this precious story the perfect gift for children 2-6 years, and train enthusiasts of all ages.
