(3) PS Illustrated by Jimmy Pickering. "What color is Halloween?" Each page offers an answer (e.g., "Halloween is white") and a brief rhyming verse: "Cobwebs clinging, / Misty trail, / A skull, a spook, / A face gone pale..." A tongue-twisting string of descriptive words ("stony-bony, pearly-swirly, mostly ghostly / Wisp of white") and hip, eye-popping illustrations feature lots of (not too) spooky details. A frightfully good read-aloud.
