Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It's twenty to five on the thirty-first of October. The costume doesn't fit, one shoe is missing, and nobody has decided what time you're coming home.

That last one decides the whole evening.

Halloween with young children isn't a discipline problem or a safety lecture. It's a logistics problem in a costume, and most of it can be solved in daylight, at a kitchen table, a week early, for nothing. This short handbook gives you a method instead of a list of warnings.

You'll build the night backwards from bedtime, so it ends when you said it would. You'll walk your own streets in daylight and learn what they turn into after dark. You'll draw a route with three named parts, so that any adult in your group can answer three questions without thinking: where are we, where does this street end, and how do we get home from here.

Inside: - The Backward Hour: a five-line timetable that settles every hallway argument before the costumes go on- How to read your streets in daylight, and why counting doors beats counting blocks- The loop, the spine and the bail-out, so stopping early costs seven minutes instead of twenty-five- The two costume checks that matter: what it catches on, and what a driver can actually see- Six rules to say at your own front door, word for word, with the repeat-back that makes them stick- A four-word crossing routine that holds up with three children and only two hands- What to do in the first sixty seconds if you can't see your child>Written for parents, grandparents and carers walking with children roughly three to ten years old. If your oldest is eleven and asking to go without you, this isn't your book - that's a different conversation with different rules.

No filler, no scare stories, no statistics anybody made up. Just the plan one parent worked out over four Halloweens on the same suburban loop, written short enough to read in an evening and carry in a coat pocket on the night.
