Annalys and Suki’s Halloween Birthday Bash

by Heidi Torres

A promise to Suki turns Annalys’s costume contest into a challenge she never expected.

It’s a birthday bash with a Halloween costume contest, a pumpkin prize, and plenty of room for big entrances—or so Annalys thinks. She promises her guinea pig, Suki, a perfect view of every costume. But Otis’s stomping pumpkin dance is hidden by the high platform, the chairs crowd the way, and Annalys’s own glowing gown blocks the view, too.

The contest is ready to begin, but Suki can’t see the fun. With the prize still waiting and her promise on her mind, Annalys must find a new way to make room for every costume. Can the show come closer to Suki—and can a mighty pumpkin learn to tiptoe?

This playful picture book pairs gentle Halloween spooks with costume giggles and a thoughtful story about keeping a promise. Young readers can enjoy the lively party scenes, while grown-ups will find plenty to share aloud with children ages 5–8.
