It's time to go trick-or-treating, but Egg is frightened of all the scary things he might see. Peep wants his friend Egg to join in the fun, but Egg refuses to go. Peep tries telling Egg fun Halloween jokes to help him be less frightened, he even tries coaxing him to come and see all the other animals in their costumes, but Egg still won't budge. When Peep heads off to the Halloween festivities without him, Egg discovers that being all alone is a much scarier thing to be.
Peep and Egg's Halloween adventure is a cute and endearing story about friendship and facing our fears. The illustrations add humor and fun to the story. This is an excellent holiday read for pre-k and kindergarten ages.
