I'll Love You Till the Bats Say Boo, Board Book

A perfect combo of unconditional love and "toddler’s first Halloween" in this sweetly funny board book from Kathryn Cristaldi and Kristyna Litten, the team behind I’ll Love You Till the Cows Come Home! 

I’ll Love You Till the Bats Say Boo is a sturdy board book just right for little hands that’s a must-have for fans of the I’ll Love You Till companion volumes. Adorable bats are throwing a party with a prize for the best costume. This story, brimming with humor and heart, is sure to enchant readers as the goats bound in and worms bob for apples—and, yes, the cows are there, too, dressed as milk cartons! Throughout the story, observant little ones will spot a ghost. Who will win the costume contest?

As the festivities draw to a close, so does the story, with the trademark tenderness that will invite many bedtime read-alouds:

And after trick-or-treating’s done I’ll love you past the setting sun up to the moon so high above as starlight twinkles out my love…

ALA Booklist described I’ll Love You Till the Cows Come Home as a bedtime read-aloud that is “both hilarious and comforting," and the same can be said for I’ll Love You Till the Bats Say Boo.
