Hair-Raising Tale! I Double-Dare You! by Paul Battault

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO SCARE AWAY THE PESKIEST NIGHTMARE MONSTERS?

Youngsters take the dare to touch and feel assorted monsters--an ogre with a wiry beard and great big teeth and a wrinkly, warty witch--and whisk them both away with a wave of the hand.

Kids can tickle spooky ghosts and warn away howling wolves.  They can face down a fire-breathing dragon and squish a giant squid's tentacles until he take it on the lam!

But where did they GO?

Are they in this closet?

I DOUBLE DARE YOU TO LOOK THROUGH THIS KEYHOLE!

Fear not, kids! You've scared them into falling asleep inside this nice safe closet, in Paul Battault's funny touch-and-feel board book, I Double Dare You! (Twirl Books, 2018). With appropriately semi-scary monsters created by artist Charlotte Ameling, this toy-and-movable book preps tots for the scary season with jolly critters with plenty of tactile appeal in a virtual tour of mixed monsters.
