(2) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Kogan Ray. Every Halloween Hubknuckles peers in a family's window and then sweeps away in a ghostly dance. This year, Lee boldly announces that she's going to dance with him. Ray's black-and-white drawings of family scenes and costumed children playing Halloween games are warm and friendly, while her pictures of the spectral dance add just the right touch of mystery to the story.
