Mothman has been known to be an unsubstantiated humanoid creature according to a West Virginian folklore. However, this story is a nice, kind and caring twist to the Mothman!
Title: Mothman's Happy Cryptid Halloween
Author / Illustrator: Andrew Shaffer
Publisher: 8th Circle Press
The sweet Mothman in this story has a pumpkin farm and the school kids from nearby are going to arrive all day long to pick pumpkins. Mothman gets ready in his costume to welcome all the kids, when, unfortunately, it starts to rain. It takes a while for the rain to stop and by then, the time for trick or treating also had ended. Mothman feels so sad that the kids missed all the fun and thinks it is the Worstest Halloween ever!
Mothman doesn't let it go though, he plans to make things alright in whatever way he can. He explains his plan to fellow cryptids and other creatures, and requests their help in making the plan a success. Of course, monsters won't understand humans and their ways that well, so, things don't go quite as planned. Good intentions, but the execution didn't quite go well! However, still, Mothman's kind and caring wish does come true in a different way!
📚 An adorable read with bright illustrations
📚 The idea of Mothman being kind and helpful to the kids and his community is so beautiful and unique
📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
