I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A cute little book about Halloween and the excitement of getting ready. Cute pictures and the text flows well. The kids will enjoy it, especially if they love Halloween. |
This book was such a good book. I read it and enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend it to anyone. |
Luke and Lottie is a fun story about twin siblings enjoying the Halloween festivities. Colourful illustrations show the children as they dress up in their costumes, do some holiday baking and of course, go trick or treating. Young children will love the pictures and the story will add to their excitement for the spooky-est day of the year. Parents will enjoy Luke and Lottie. It’s Halloween because it will bring back fond memories of traditions that have been carried on through the years. |
This was a delightful book about Halloween! I thought the illustrations were adorable and loved the children's interactions with each other and their parents. I thought the Halloween snacks they made out of fruits were very clever - only to find out from the author's intro that she studied nutrition and dietetics! I definitely have to snag a copy for Gabby now! |
Luke's a ghost and Lottie is a witch for Halloween. They are the cutest little things and they are ready to trick or treat. Clavis and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It has been published and you can grab a copy now. You can see them go from home to home gathering treats. Everyone is having a good time, just like Halloween should be. The illustrations are colorful and full of whimsy. This is great book to introduce your child to Halloween. |
This is a calm, warm story about a family enjoying Halloween ( mom, dad and two twins, a boy and a girl). It's described the time they enjoy together. First in the preparations, with the decorating, the cooking, the sweets. And then when they go trick-or-treating. The illustrations are joyful and colorful, even when the background is darker. A simple story to tell younger kids around these festive days. A cozy good-night read, where Halloween isn't scary at all but festive. A truly Happy Halloween. I would recommend this book to parents who want to introduce Halloween traditions to their small children. I received this book as an eARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. |

Luke and Lottie. It's Halloween! by Ruth Wielockx is a delightful children's book for very young readers. Luke and Lottie are getting ready for Halloween by getting the costumes, making yummy desserts and trick-or-treating. Charming illustrations along with imaginative snack recipes are an added bonus. My kids can't wait for the end of October to try them out. Well explained each segment of the holiday introduces it to the little readers and familiarizes them with what to expect. One of the best books about Halloween that I have read. Adorable. |

This is a simple, festive Halloween story. The illustrations are adorable. I like that the children enjoy Halloween in different ways, particularly the ghosts and pumpkins made from fruit. One thing I noticed was that all of the costumes were something creepy or scary. I like to see more fun, less scary costumes in children's books. |
Short , cute, colorful Illustrations. Halloween time is a favorite for our family... Read this to my 5 yr old. And he got upset because the mommy in the book didn't go trick treating with them (Dad, Luke and Lottie) Lol. |
Luke and Lottie are twins going trick or treating for the first time. Luke will be a ghost and Lottie a witch. This is a great book to introduce the traditions of Halloween to little ones. From carving pumpkins, dressing up and making treats for the trick or treaters this book walks you through it. I really liked the fact that Dad and some of the other adults dressed up too. I recommend this book for 2-4 year olds or beginner readers. The illustrations are colorful and fun to look at and the book has a lot of the Halloween colors in it. I especially like the the little poem that one of the neighbors said. I may use it for Halloween this year. This book was originally published in Belguim and Holland. |
Seasonal books incoming... I love books about Halloween and Autumn and this was such a cute one. It is about siblings and their Halloween evening and the traditions shared with their family. They trick-or-treat, carve pumpkins, and help mom in the kitchen - all such fun things! I think parents and younglings will enjoy this one for the Halloween season so if you are looking for something to fill that gap - you should pick it up! The images are big and bright and the whole book celebrates time with family and the fun that they have together - a great read. |
This is a cute Halloween book. I love how the twins Luke and Lottie are so excited about the decorations and costumes. The illustrations are adorable. This is a great non-scary way to introduce Halloween customs to small children. This would be a great addition to an elementary school library or classroom or for parents of preschool-aged children. I received a copy through NetGalley and opinions expressed are my own. |
Beautiful illustrations and vibrant colors liven up a sweet, simple story about trick-or-treating and Halloween fun. |

This is another is a small series of Luke and Lottie. Two kids who do things together because they are brother and sister. This time it’s trick or treating. One will be a witch and the other a ghost. And dad shall be going too. They meet up with other kids and walk house to house. The story is typical night at Halloween following kids. Nothing bad, but also nothing special. |
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Clavis Publishing for my unbiased opinion of the book. The book started out with Luke and Lottie getting ready for Halloween. Suddenly, the book abruptly ends? There was no real story or meaning behind the book. The graphics and colors were well done but again the story was lacking. https://plus.google.com/share? |
This is a cute Hallowe’en story for young children. It is not scary at all. In simple text, Ruth Wielockx describes what the family goes through to decorate, get treats ready and decide on costumes. On the night they go out, Dad goes with them and he is also in a costume. The illustrations are cute with smiling children and non-scary costumes. For children new to this holiday, this would also be a great book to teach them about North American customs. This is a great book for a family library or a pre-school or kindergarten classroom. The publisher, Clavis Publishing, provided me with a copy of this book to read. The opinions stated are my own. |
Very short and sweet little children's book about going trick or treating. What do I think about this book? Personally, I think it's spooktacular. |

I read it with my little brother and it was cute little story about Halloween. He liked the story. I love the colors too. |
This book is simple and cute! It follows twins, Luke and Lottie through their trick or treating adventure. It will definitely be in my Halloween book rotation. My daughter loved having it read to her and she is 16 months old. |

Luke and Lottie: It's Halloween is a cute story about siblings getting ready on Halloween. They go through all of the fun parts of the holiday - getting dressed up, making jack-o-lanterns, seeing silly but scary decorations, and making Halloween-themed food.. It ends with them, of course, going trick-or-treating. It's a cute story which can explain to younger kids what Halloween is all about. I'd recommend this book for kids ages 2-4. The pictures are very cute - not at all scary. |
