One Happy Haunted House is a fun-shaped board book that features surprises sliding out of the book when you shake it. Each page takes you to meet different things that are associated with Halloween, such as pumpkins, skeletons, and monsters.

What I Liked: Each page of this book is sure to bring a smile to your child’s face as more creatures join in the fun when you tilt the book slightly to the right. If you want to make it a lot more fun, you can just shake the book gently to watch the additional friends slide out into the story. The illustrations throughout this book are vibrant and whimsical, which immerse you in the story and capture the attention of young readers. While this book has a unique shape, styled to look like a house, thankfully, the shape doesn’t detract from the story, and the illustrations pair well with the text on the page.

Final Verdict: One Happy Haunted House is perfect for young children who love flip-the-flap books and pull tabs, as this is a fun take. Children will delight in shaking the book to ensure that the sliders come out, which adds to the fun of the story. Children will also enjoy the fun shape of this book, as it is shaped like a house, making for a lot more fun.
