READ THIS: HAUNTED HOUSE A Book and Paper Doll Fold-Out Play Set Published by The Peter Pauper Press and Written By Bump N. DeNight

Here's some scary fun! Enter this Haunted House with caution! Beware of ghosts and goblins as you creep and crawl your way through each of the three spooky fold-out scenes. Fold-out scenes include exterior of the haunted house, front entryway, and parlor, each with spooky pop-outs! Book includes over 50 card-stock punch-out paper dolls of trick-or-treaters, mix-and-match costumes, skeletons, witches, ghosts, goblins, and more! Here are fun facts and tidbits about Halloween and all its ghoulish characters! Heavy-duty storage envelope (included) keeps dolls, outfits, and book safe between playtimes. 3 fold-out scenes in 9-3/4'' wide x 10-1/4'' high hardcover play set. Ages 6 and up.   The Petite Peachy Panel had some fun with this, and they say:

I always hear my mother talking about how as a little girl she and her friends loved playing with paper dolls: Designing them outfits and making up stories using them to act out parts. So when I received Peter Pauper Press’s “Haunted House: A book and paper doll fold-out playset” I was intrigued to see how my Daughter would play with it. Needless to say with over three fold-out stage scenes and 50 punch out paper dolls with costumes and more, she was VERY BUSY. She loved all the goblins and Halloween-themed dolls. It really got her excited about getting her own costume and going trick or treating. I loved the attention to detail that PPP took on the construction. The hardcover book is durable. The envelope to keep the dolls organized and safe is brilliant. And the graphics are right on for the age it targets 6 and up. The fold-out scenes are great with the pop-outs and create the perfect stage. It definitely triggered her imagination and provided me with an activity I enjoyed playing with her. We had the dolls act out stories and got very silly scarring the trick-or-treaters. I will enjoy this book and the activities it provides for years to come.

We love this book! I haven’t played with paper dolls since I was a child, so this was as much fun for me as it was for my son! It didn’t take long to capture my son’s attention with this book. I opened it up and set it on the table for him to explore. He loved that it opened all the way around and that there were three different rooms to explore. The paper dolls and their accessories were easy to pop out of the book and to set up. I love the storage envelope in the front too! There is nothing better for a mom than being able to keep lots of little pieces all together in one place! This book really encouraged my son’s creativity. He loved being able to put the paper dolls in different costumes! He also really enjoyed the additional paper items (the clock, the piano, the dog, etc.)! It was so much fun to watch him play with the paper dolls and to see his imagination just take off. This book really held his attention for quite some time! After he was through playing with it, we had to leave it set up for the rest of the day (“Will it be there after my nap, Mom?”), only finally putting it away for “night-night”. This is a beautifully, creative book that any child (and parent, for that matter!) would enjoy!
