New ed. (1985, Children's)
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Raglin. In this "Twelve Days of Christmas" takeoff, a ghoulish-looking man and woman in Restoration-era clothes celebrate Halloween with "eight brooms a-flying, seven spiders creeping," etc. The text comes to an abrupt and disappointing ending, though there is some inventiveness to the way each new set of gifts is added to the humorous illustrations. This new edition has been slightly redesigned.
