Twelve Haunted Rooms of Halloween by Macky Pamintuan
This is a super cute story about Halloween with a twist of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Children are supposed to find the items hidden in the pictures. There is a bear that peeks into each room to find the items.
Summary: Some zoo animals make their way onto a space ship and decide to travel to the moon. Or at least attempt to! Things go awry when the rhino accidentally falls asleep on one of the levers. Luckily, they manage to make it back to Earth safe and sound.
Critique of Genre: Fantasy because the animals in this book are able to talk and do other unrealistic things such as fly and operate a space ship.

Set to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas, this vibrant picture book features 375 spooky items for kids to find. Follow the little bear as he peeks into each haunted room to find what's hidden throughout the house. You'll have to look closely, especially at the large foldout page at the end, so you don't miss any of the fun. Illustrator Macky Pamintuan brings to life bats, cats, ghosts, zombies, spiders, and much, much more.
The Bottom Line: Little ones will pick up this book time and time again. Just when you think you've found all the items, you notice something new. Macky Pamintuan's illustrations are colorful and friendly, making this perfect for younger kids in Preschool and Kindergarten. This counting book is so much fun; I just wish there had been a thirteenth room.

In this Smithsonian Institution book, a young boy and his male caregiver – seen only obliquely – go out to a ballgame. The text of the book consists of the lyrics of the popular song. Young children will enjoy the bold eye-catching caricatures that illustrate this story, as well as having the words sung to them. Older children will enjoy the brief appendix, which explains the origin of the song and how it became a baseball tradition.
