(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Sayles & Elizabeth Sayles. Jeoffry the cat first wanders the farm with the dog, then accompanies two nervous trick-or-treaters through the woods. The clever rhyming text aptly describes the way that ordinary things can take on a frightening appearance on Halloween night. Rendered in a muted autumnal palette and softly shaded with few definite lines, the pastel illustrations help create a gloomy, mysterious mood.
