Benny Baxter had been counting down to Halloween since the last Halloween.
His costume was ready. His candy bucket was ready.
He was ready.
And then... he accidentally fell asleep.
Now Benny refuses to take off his costume until Halloween comes back - no matter how many holidays pass. From Thanksgiving dinner to Christmas morning, from Valentine's Day to summertime barbecues, Benny shows up in full superhero gear, determined to get another chance at the best night of the year.
Kids will laugh as Benny wears his costume everywhere.
Parents will smile at his stubborn determination.
And everyone will cheer when Halloween finally returns.
Perfect for ages 4-8, this funny, heartwarming picture book celebrates patience, perseverance, and the magic of getting a second chance.
A great read-aloud for Halloween, bedtime, or any holiday of the year.
Fans of silly holiday stories, character-driven humor, and colorful picture books will love I Missed Halloween?!
