Halloween in Bugville. A Story About Celebrations, Surprises and Spooktacular Fun - R Stanek

Costumes, cookies, and one spooky little mix-up... it must be Halloween in Bugville!

Lass Ladybug can't wait for the biggest event of the season-Bugville's annual Halloween celebration! There are costumes to make, jack-o-lanterns to light, treats to bake, and surprises around every corner.

With her best friends Cat Caterpillar and Sarah Silkworm, Lass is ready to throw the most spooktacular party Four Meadows has ever seen. But when a few invitations go missing, and one important bug might feel left out, the friends must work fast to make sure no critter gets forgotten.

From cobweb streamers to vampire propeller hats, this heartwarming Halloween tale is full of:

• Community spirit and friendship

• Lighthearted giggles and spooky puns

• Real moments that help young readers explore inclusion and empathy

• And of course... a very Bugville twist on trick-or-treating!
