Spooky Fun with Disney Baby: Here Comes Halloween!
As a mom, I find myself steeped in a world of bedtime struggles, snack negotiations, and, let’s be real—a hefty dose of chaos. Sometimes, when all else fails and my little ones are bubbling with energy, a cozy read-aloud session is just what we need. Recently, I discovered Disney Baby: Here Comes Halloween!: A Lift-the-Flap Book, and it has quickly become a delightful addition to our bedtime routine.
This oversized board book invites little hands to explore the whims of Halloween through engaging flaps, silly illustrations, and familiar Disney characters. My kids, ages 2 and 4, couldn’t contain their excitement! "What’s behind this flap, Mommy?" they squealed as they lifted each one to reveal either a cute surprise or a fun Halloween-related vocabulary word. The interactive nature of the book is such a perfect way to capture their attention!
The story doesn’t have a traditional plot, per se, but instead takes readers on a light-hearted stroll through Halloween—a pumpkin here, a friendly ghost there—with each flap serving as a delightful surprise. The simple vocabulary is perfect for our budding readers, but also fosters a sense of wonder for younger babies, allowing parents to introduce Halloween-themed words effortlessly. There’s something special about watching my toddler point to a picture of a bat and confidently say, “Boo!”
The illustrations are really what brought this book to life. The characters are adorably depicted, from cheerful Mickey dressed in a ghost costume to goofy friends sharing all things Halloween. Each page radiates warm, inviting colors that feel just right for the season. My personal favorite line is when Pooh Bear pops up behind a flap, wearing a cute, slightly crooked pumpkin hat—it brought the giggles out in both of my kiddos!
One of the funniest moments came when we reached a page featuring a friendly witch. My son, convinced that witches should look scary, exclaimed, “That’s not a witch, that’s a happy lady!” This sparked a fun conversation about Halloween and how costumes can be silly or spooky, making the experience more than just a reading but also a bonding moment.
I highly recommend Disney Baby: Here Comes Halloween! for little ones aged 0-3. It’s especially great for those who thrive on interactive play, as well as for parents who are looking for a delightful way to introduce Halloween and its vocabulary. It’s become a cherished part of our "boo basket" this year—something I plan to bring out each October!
As we cozy up under a blanket reading this book, I’m reminded of how these little moments—filled with laughter, love, and a sprinkle of spooky—make the wild ride of parenthood so rewarding. Whether you’re a Disney fan or just looking for some festive fun, this book is sure to become a household favorite. Happy reading, friends! 🎃👻
