(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Raglin. In a takeoff on the traditional "Twelve Days of Christmas," a spooky-looking man and woman in Restoration-era clothes celebrate Halloween with "eight brooms a-flying, seven spiders creeping, six owls a-screeching," and so on. The derivative poem 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.
