Blaze & the Monster Machines: Truck or Treat
Even though my kids like trucks, oddly, they haven't really been drawn into Blaze or his friend's stories. Still, it's cute how shadows are shown and described in this story, which is a good segue into shadow figures or puppets, which can be a lot of fun. As most often, these are
Paw Patrol: The Spooky Cabin
This one rather closely follows the TV episode with the same story, including Rubble's fright and the Paw Patrol finding out just what was causing the cabin to seem so spooky in the first place. While some people are also scared of mice, Rubble and the pups are not on that list.
Shimmer & Shine: Monster Magic
This probably is really cute if it's a TV series, however, as a story it's a little harder to follow with the genies and their wishes. Let alone how everything either seems to go wrong outright even if they hit the correct theme for the holidays, or be all sweetness. Guess that's why they're names are Shimmer and Shine if they make everything seem prettier.
Paw Patrol: Howl for Halloween
Sometimes the best laid planes don't go exactly as expected. The party may be planned on a ship, but the ship wasn't supposed to be going anywhere. Fortunately, there was still a captain at the helm, even if it wasn't the usual one. The second ship at the end though.... short of a projector hiding somewhere that isn't identified, there doesn't seem to be an explanation for the last shock to end both this story and the whole Halloween book.
