Holly Meade.
The book describes events and milestones alerting children to the impending arrival of Halloween. These include raking the yard, decorating the house, deciding on and making a costume, carving pumpkins, and of course trick-or-treating. The text's comfortable pattern and cozy watercolor and collage illustrations support the story's anticipation of holiday fun.
