(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linda Bronson. This brief history of Halloween from its Celtic origins to the present discusses holiday customs and explains how some have evolved (e.g., begging for currant buns developed into trick-or-treating). Illustrated with stylized, decidedly unspooky color images that seem better suited for the pages of a magazine for adults, the book concludes with suggestions for "pumpkin art" and a handful of riddles.
