Synopsis: In a Halloween night filled with spooky sights and sounds, little Mouse grows to learn that things that may seem scary at first may turn out to be harmless after all!

Craft ideas:

• What are your favorite parts about Halloween? Draw!
• Make a mouse hat with ears and whiskers, and re-enact the story.
• Cut out jack-o-lanterns.

Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions. You can use them, but you don’t have to use them. You can expand upon them, or add your own twist. Remember, though, that the focus of your time should not be on the development and execution of a craft; the focus should be on the read-aloud and the enjoyment of the book!
