It's Summerween! - Board Book

by Tammi Salzano (Author), Gaby Zermeno (Illustrator)

A quirky, fun book with rhyming text that celebrates Summerween and introduces numbers 1 through 10.

What's in the middle of summer and fall?
It's Summerween! It's the best time of all!

This quirky, fun board book with rhyming text introduces young readers to Summerween, a celebration of summer and Halloween that was inspired by an episode on the animated television series Gravity Falls. This mashup of summertime fun and Halloween is a fun nod to the holiday and a visual treat for young readers, from bats flying kites and mummies chasing an ice-cream truck to watermelons and pineapples carved to look like jack-o'-lanterns enjoying summertime activities. A counting element introduces children to numbers 1 to 10 as they explore the colorful, humorous pages.
