This latest book in the Toot & Puddle series is another treat. The series tells the story of two little pigs who are best friends with contrasting interests. Both are enthusiastic in their own way--while Puddle finds pleasure in taking care of the homefront, Toot has his eye on the rest of the world.

In Top of the World, Toot has left on an adventure. The book opens with Puddle finding a note from Toot that he has gone for a walk. When Toot doesn't arrive home, Puddle grows increasingly worried about his friend.

One of the most artistic activities in the book shows kids how to create a "spooky sky" as a beautiful background for their Halloween scene. Instructions for Halloween party invitations and even creative Halloween costumes kids (and their parents) can make at home are easy to follow. 

In the middle of the book, there is a pull-out page of stickers as an added bonus. 

anthropomorphic This book is imaginative and its illustrations help inspire kids to actually do the activities.

Written and illustrated by Holly Hobbie. This paperback is approximately $9 US.
