Trick Is to Treat (A Halloween This Is to That Book)

A playful Halloween board book that turns spooky-season favorites into a fun first lesson in analogies, vocabulary, and early thinking skills.

Candy is to pillowcase as potion is to cauldron. 

Alien is to spaceship as witch is to broom.

Celebrate Halloween with a clever guessing game designed just for little readers. Using familiar seasonal words and adorable illustrations, Trick Is to Treat invites preschoolers to spot connections, complete simple analogies, and build vocabulary along the way.

From costumes and candy to witches, scarecrows, and other spooky favorites, each page pairs Halloween fun with an easy introduction to early concepts such as opposites, associations, and relationships between words.

• HALLOWEEN FUN WITH A LEARNING TWIST: Fun and familiar seasonal objects and characters help preschoolers practice vocabulary, observation, and early critical thinking. Cute illustrations keep the experience playful rather than spooky.
• A FIRST INTRODUCTION TO ANALOGIES: Simple “this is to that” pairings encourage children to notice relationships between words and make connections on their own.
• MADE FOR SHARED READING: The guessing-game format invites conversation and participation, making it a natural choice for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and classrooms.
• A SWEET SEASONAL GIFT: A festive board book for toddlers and preschoolers, perfect for Halloween baskets, seasonal displays, classroom treats, or a sugar-free alternative to candy.
