Three funny monsters peek from their book covers through three windows of a mysterious haunted house. The house is really an amusingly spooky cartoon illustration on heavy die-cut cardboard -- and its trio of books will make a great gift for Halloween, for birthdays, or just for fun. Hector Specter, the star of the first little book, enjoys haunting the House of Horrors and scaring people with his spooky noisemaking tools. Then one day while he's sound asleep, somebody steals all his noisemakers! A second book features the skeleton, Basil Rattlebones, who is always running away from dogs because they all like nothing better than a tasty bone. The third book tells the story of Velma Vampire, a funny bat who is mistaken for a big black umbrella on one dark and stormy night. All three books have wonderfully funny and bright illustrations on every page. (Ages 4-7)
