Bookroo's summary

On Halloween night, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends venture into the dark to collect treats. The jungle transforms with eerie sounds and mysterious smells. As they reassure each other, two glowing eyes appear, threatening to end their quest. Will they brave the night or return empty-handed? Discover the true scares of jungle trick-or-treating.

From the publisher

As New York Times #1 bestselling character Grumpy Monkey and his jungle friends pursue Halloween treats amid strange noises and mysterious smells, they remind each other that nothing can be scarier than returning home with no treats. Two pages of full-color stickers are included for extra fun! On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark to collect treats. Not only does the jungle look different at night, it sounds different. What’s that knock-knock-knock and that HAHA HAHA HAHA? And the smell? PEE-YEW! “Don’t be scared,” they tell Jim. But then two glowing eyes flash overhead, and looking for treats is almost abandoned. Halloween in the jungle can be even scarier than trick-or-treating in your own neighborhood.
