Toby is a bat in red wellies, and nothing can frighten him. Not ghosts. Not growls. Not the biggest BOO in Willowwick. Then the Halloween lantern trail gets louder, the shadows grow taller and Toby begins to wish he hadn’t been quite so brave out loud. With Rosie nearby and a tiny paper bat to help, can he find a Halloween that feels right for him? A cosy adventure for little bats with big feelings.

A little moment to read together.

The kitchen smelled cosy and buttery-sweet. A bat in red wellies swooped under a seat. “I'm Toby! I'm terrifying! Look at me fly! There's nothing that scares me. Go on. Have a try!” His cape caught a chair as he swooped round once more. Rosie untangled him. Dad held the door.
