THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN PLAYLISTS ‘This year, thanks to Asda’s specially curated Spotify playlists*, I can concentrate more on carving the pumpkin and less on organising the music.

book of the month
Christopher Pumpkin, by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, £4** ‘Rhyming books always went down a treat when Lily and Jacob were younger, and this Halloween-themed version is just as delightful. Magicked to life by a witch, Christopher Pumpkin is more into baking fairy cakes than brewing scary potions. So, when he discovers he has to frighten guests at a spooky party, he sets out blazing his own trail. A fun and scare-free read-aloud tale.’
*The Spotify playlists are available until 4 November 2019. A Spotify account is required to listen to the playlists. If the user does not have an existing Spotify account, a free account is available via the Spotify registration process. Release dates correct at time of print but subject to change.
