As part of the Parragon Book Buddies group this month I was sent a well suited book called ‘Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere’.
This is the first year Lamb understands about Halloween and has been loving watching Halloween movies like Hotel Transylvania. We even took him to the cinema to see Hotel Transylvania 2 at the weekend.
The first time we read this he was hooked straight away. In fact he kept making me go back a page to look at the pictures again! 
I’ll be honest, the lack of words was quite annoying for me, some pages only had 2! However this is perfect for little ones who are learning to read. The words are repetitive, bright and bold and will stand out to them as they read through the book.
With that said, I’ve grown to love the lack of words. This gives me the opportunity to create my own story with Lamb. Together we point out things on the page, talk about what the characters are wearing or doing, what scary monsters you can see. The pictures are so inviting and every page is full of detail.
Parragon books are beautiful. They are high quality and the range available is vast. I’m loving being a Book Buddy and look forward to sharing some more amazing reads with you each month.
Happy Halloween!

*I was sent this product free of charge as part of the Parragon Book Buddy club in return for my honest opinion and review.
I think the gorgeous illustrations make up for the lack of words, it looks like such a bright and colourful book which adds so much more interest. It’s great that your son is able to enjoy Halloween now, it’s such a fun time with all the dressing up!
oh my goodness! Hayden would love this book 😀
Thanks for sharing Alex – I want to start a season book section of Hayden book shelf.
I NEED to add this.

We had this book too and Pickle loves it! It is our bed time reading book at the moment. We love the pictures. Kaz x
I wish we’d found a Halloween book now. The pictures look lovely and I guess you can explain as much or as little as you like about Halloween with the lack of words
It looks like such a lovely illustrated book but the lack of words is a little bit disappointing, that said, I am sure you have fun making up stories x
I too have grown to like books with little words. Especially now Darcie is older, she has grown the confidence to make her own stories from just looking at the pictures, some of them are pretty good haha! xxx
Oh the lack of words would also annoy me too. My little one is 5 though so it would be great for her and wouldn’t bore her with pages and pages of reading.
Oh you know we don’t have a Halloween book, I think this is a bit of an oversight on my side! Although I think the lack of words in this one would annoy me too. The illustrations look fab though.
