Spooky Creatures and Friends

Stuffed animals Teddy and Bunny are comforting and reassuring companions who introduce young viewers to a variety of spooky critters in preparation for a night of Halloween fun. Along with frogs and ducks and butterflies, kids will meet tarantulas and black cats, and explore a bat cave. After a visit to the town market for pumpkins and decorations, the program segues into the specifics of scary costumes, trick or treating and visiting a haunted house--all photographed from a small child's perspective. By blending natural history with holiday lore and proceeding from daylight to darkness, this production provides a gentle and friendly introduction to a sometimes scary and intimidating holiday. Enthusiastically recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (J. Reed)
