Description

Inspired by the allergy-friendly movement, this board book can be displayed on your doorstep in place of a teal-painted pumpkin to signal that you’re offering non-food trinkets for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

Friends dressed in snazzy costumes jump, hop, and skip from trunk to trunk collecting all kinds of treats—from the farmer’s sticky-delicious caramel apples to the local librarian’s scary and not-so-scary stories. Older Halloween fans take the chance to eat their own fair share of the candy, but everyone agrees that the sweetest treat of all is belonging to the community! 

This cheerful and celebratory board book shows kids visiting teal pumpkin homes and receiving trinkets such as stickers, little toys, and more for an allergy-inclusive Halloween night!
