Bizzy Bear: Spooky House
"An excellent read for little ones learning about the holiday as well as those who can't wait for Halloween to arrive." -- Kirkus Reviews
The ever-intrepid Bizzy Bear is visiting a super-spooky Halloween house. As he climbs the rickety stairs and walks the cobwebby corridors, all sorts of creepy characters appear from doors and hidey-holes. Bizzy remains undaunted -- but where could he be going and what will he find there? Bizzy's latest adventure makes for a splendidly seasonal new addition to this popular series, which has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

This interactive Halloween board book is the latest of over fourteen Bizzy Bear adventures. Short rhyming phrases describe the wizard-garbed bear on his trek through the not-very-scary haunted house, “Bizzy Bear, Bizzy Bear, creaky stair. Bizzy Bear, Bizzy Bear, what’s that there?” There are five interactive tabs, one for each two page spread. Each operates differently. The tab on the cover slides open the door and at the same time reveals a friend peeping out of the window; another requires the reader to turn a circular inset to reveal witchy animals flying by on broomsticks. Made of heavy cardboard, the manipulatives seem sturdy enough to stand up to repeated use.
Anything you didn’t like about it? There is no explanation for why the bear is named “Bizzy” Bear. It seems a shame to get kids used to seeing the word ‘busy’ misspelled unless there is a reason for it.

Halloween time board book with push and pull tabs and sliders. More sturdy than a pop up story book.
Delightful adventure. Cute and colorful illustrations.
