Spooky School's the place to be,

Step inside, you'll quickly see.

The bell has rung, school's begun . . .

Get ready for some spooky fun!

It's schooltime for this adorable cast of Halloween characters! Join a day in their classroom as they howl with Mr Werewolf, play hide-and-seek with Gertie Ghost and try to stick Skelly back together.

This spook-tacular celebration of school puts a delightful Halloween twist on familiar early learning. Little ones will love recognising their favourite lessons: from Circle Time with Madame Fright to counting potion ingredients in Maths. Featuring bold artwork and a cheerful rhyme, this is the perfect confidence-building story for little ones at nursery and school. Do YOU have what it takes to be part of the spooky crew?
