K-3History of Fun Stuff series.
Illustrated by
Rich Wake.
How did trick-or-treating originate? Why do people dress up in costumes? Celtic traditions, All Saints' Day, and how Halloween came to America are some of the topics discussed in this peppy, fact-filled easy reader. Retro-style cartoon illustrations and large-font text are nicely laid out on bright pages. Additional cultural information, science connections, and a quiz round out the volume.
