The book I thought I’d hate, but turned out pretty good.

Beep, Beep, Beep, Trunk-or-Treat!: A Lift-the-Flap Book by Tracie Schneider

Before I started the online copy of Beep, Beep, Beep, Trunk-or-Treat!: A Lift-the-Flap Book I thought my first lines of the review would be: “I hate everything about Beep, Beep, Beep, Trunk-or-Treat!: A Lift-the-Flap Book.
