(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jos. A. Smith. Using a Halloween motif, rhymed couplets enumerate the numbers from one tall scarecrow to ten tiny mice--then back down from ten to one as the spooky creatures disperse. The eerie illustrations are rendered primarily in black, making the few splashes of color in yellow jack-o'-lantern faces and bloodshot ghost eyes all the more startling.
