Trick-or-Treat: A Happy Haunter's Halloween

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tad Carpenter. These Halloween-y poems told from shifting perspectives--the scared trick-or-treating youngsters' and the creepy monsters'--are great for both their expert cadence and the balance of tone. Some are mildly chilling, others are humorous. The digital illustrations embody this mix, too: children wide-eyed with fear are greeted by benign-looking creatures just having a good time.
