(3) K-3 This rollicking Halloween tale counts from one to ten and back as a ghost's ghoulish guests first come together, then flee from a herd of trick-or-treaters. Rhyming stanzas build steadily then shrink to single lines, adding to the guests' speedy departure. Humor abounds (vampires bobbing--quite successfully--for apples) in the watercolor, colored-pencil, and ink illustrations, which play with dark and light.
Reviewer: Hannah Rodgers Barnaby
