Monsters on the Loose! A Seek and Solve Mystery!

Hale and Garbot follow Santa on the Loose! and Easter Bunny on the Loose! with another search-and-find holiday outing. This time, several monsters have lost their Halloween candy, and it’s up to Frankenstein’s monster to solve the mystery. Garbot packs his brightly colored pages with ghosts, pumpkins, aliens, bats, and other beasties as Hale guides readers to locate “Frankie” on each spread and find out what clues he has uncovered. Even after the mystery is solved, readers are invited to take another look through the pages to find additional objects. On a rainy Halloween night, this one will keep kids busy. Ages 4–8.
