This Is the House That Monsters Built

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jared Lee. Using a "House That Jack Built" structure, this book describes how various witches, vampires, and ghosts contribute to the (shoddy) construction of a "spooky" house, and the resultant chaos when trick-or-treaters come to the door. There's good read-aloud potential here (although the verse's meter may require practice), and the pen-and-ink illustrations are frenetically funny.
