Trick or Treating
About
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to... READ?! These books about trick-or-treating capture the excitement of getting dressed up, heading out into our communities, knocking on doors, wondering who might answer and coming home with a mind-blowing amount of treats and happiness! There’s a little anticipation, a little fright and plenty of glorious Halloween silliness within!
Mortimer has organised the books by writer surname, A–Z, and shelved each series together in publication order, earliest first. Please don’t mix them up!
