Book Review: Berry’s Halloween Costume Trouble (Palace Pets Whisker Haven Tales)

berrys-halloween-costume-troubleDisney’s popular toy line, Palace Pets, gets a new life through Disney’s Whisker Haven Tales. So far, the series has focused on early reader chapter books paired with toys and crafts, but is finally focusing a little younger with some Read-Along Storybook and CD set. The first is this Halloween themed story, Berry’s Halloween Costume Trouble.

The Palace Pets and Critterzens of Whisker Haven are getting ready for Hallow Haven and Berry (Snow White’s Bunny) has been so busy making the cake for the festivities that she forgot to make a costume. When her friends try to help her, she discovers that it’s best to be true to yourself. Using her creativity, she shows up to the party with a delicious costume that all her friends can enjoy.

With artwork by the Disney storybook art team, this picture book features large, colorful text that kids can follow along with. With a narrator, voice actors, music and sound effects, the world of Whisker Haven comes to life for kids enjoying this story. And with few Disney Halloween books around, it’s an easy choice to add to your child’s holiday book collection.

While Berry is the star of the story, some of the other Palace Pets featured include Daisy (Belle’s puppy), Matey (Ariel’s puppy), Slipper (Cinderella’s kitten), Petite (Belle’s pony), Sultan (Jasmine’s tiger), Dreamy (Aurora’s kitten), Treasure (Ariel’s kitten) and Pumpkin (Cinderella’s puppy).
