Dare you peek through the pop-up windows? Freddie and Cressida have been invited to a 'Dare to Scare' fancy dress party - but the 'costume' worn by one of the boys looks a little bit too realistic...Peer through the branches of a moonlit forest, explore the cobweb-covered corridors of a creepy-looking house, and lift the lid of a most peculiar coffin! Three-dimensional layered pages allow the reader to fully explore the amazing illustrations. It is a thrilling reading for (brave) 3- to 7-year-olds. There's great excitement as Freddie and Cressida get ready for a party with a spooky theme - which is just perfect for a brother and sister who love scary vampire books and movies. Freddie has dressed up as a hairy werewolf with huge teeth, and once Cressida is fully wrapped as a bandage-strewn mummy, the happy pair head off into the dark woods. Other guests include a ghost in a sheet, a wonderfully warty witch and a pair of stumbling, swaying zombies. Follow the procession of young party-goers as they file through the creaking iron gateway of an eerie old house.
After a game of hide and shriek and a meal of ghoulish treats, it's time for a spine-tingling treasure hunt - a hunt that will lead the children to the peak of all things scary...You can explore the 3D windows to discover the spectacularly supernatural surprise that awaits the youngsters. It promises to be a night to remember!
