Nick and Sally from the PBS Kids television show, “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That,” need costumes for Halloween.  What do they do?  Well this looks like a job for you know who—the Cat in the Hat.  He takes them on a ride and they make a new friend named Batty Bat.  They learn about bats habits and how they sleep, before flying to a place where they find bat costumes.  Now they are ready to trick-or-treat. 

The illustrations are based on the television show and are bright and fun.  The story is perfect for a new reader with large print and simple rhyming sentences.  This is a Step Into Reading book, level 2.
