Bruce Degen.
During his family's Halloween activities--carving a pumpkin, choosing costumes, and going trick-or-treating--something scares Jesse Bear. In the end, he gets a chance to be scary himself; returning home from trick-or-treating, he and his parents shout "Boo!" at his unsuspecting grandparents. Bright pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations accompany this amiable rhyming story, the eighth title in the series.
