Peek the adorable puppy is back, and it’s her first Halloween! Greta and Peter are nearly ready to go to their town’s Halloween carnival when Greta has a sudden realization: Peek doesn’t have a costume! After several attempts to dress her up, the kids finally figure out that Peek wants to be a friendly ghost!

At the carnival, Peek’s day takes an unexpected turn when she meets a lost boy named Henry, who has been separated from his parents amidst the bustling crowds. Henry, who is afraid of ghosts (and self-flushing toilets, among other things), is frightened by Peek’s disguise, but they quickly become friends. From barrel dives at the apple-bobbing booth to towering ghostly shadows, Peek and Henry navigate the carnival’s magic and mayhem as they search for Henry’s parents.

Halloween story that will have you playing peek-a-boo with its pages long after the candy has been eaten. Happy Halloween!

I am very pleased with this book. It is a lovely story. The illustrations are very well done and they advance and complement the story. They don’t overwhelm the story of the main character, Peek!The story also reinforces friendship and family and love. It is a marvelous book to share with my grandchildren.Highly Recommend!

Book was easy for child to read due to the repetition, which is awesome. Will recommend reading with fourth graders.

This is an adorable picture book about Peek the Puppy and her adventure at a carnival where she encounters a lost boy and helps him get find his parents. The story is fun and the illustrations are well done and they remind me of illustrations from an older time when they were hand-drawn and not illustrated by graphic artists with computers. This book is sure to bring a smile to your little one's face as they join Peek on her adventure!

This is a sweet story about "Peek" the dog that wore a ghost costume, helping a boy who was distressed and lost. The Halloween book and theme brought to light the costumes, designs and fun activities that so often surround the fall season. It was a wholesome and heart touching story that wound definitely teach kids to help one another in distress, absolutely.

Peek a Boo! Is a new fave in our house! The story follows Peek, an adorable dog, as she embarks on an unexpected Halloween adventure, and it’s as charming as it is fun. My kids loved following along as Peek gets into some light-hearted mischief while making new friends along the way. The Halloween festival setting, filled with costumes and carnival fun, really captured the magical spirit of the season.The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous—bright, colorful, and full of detail, making the sto
