Boo! Who Will Haunt My House on Halloween? by Jerry Pallotta

It's Halloween!
I'm scared!
I wonder who will haunt my house tonight?
Most Halloween picture books take us out into the spooky spooky moonlight to trick or treat and meet the creatures of the night. But Jerry Pallotta's just published Who Will Haunt My House on Halloween?
For those young children who find the sight of their fellow trick-or-treaters almost too scary, David Biedrzycki's appealing but not-too-spooky illustrations of the imagined characters on the stoop--werewolves, witches offering brew, scarecrows and spiders, skeletons with bony fingers, and zillions of bats--offer a glimpse of the fun to be had just outside the door.
"Did anyone trick or treat yet?" the little girl asks her mom,
"No, it's been very quiet." Mom replies.
Mom hustles the girl into her witch costume, sprinkled with moon and stars, just as the doorbell sounds.
"Someone's at the door! Let's ALL go trick or treating. What FUN!"
And our girl picks up her treat bag and joins the jolly group of costumed kids outside with a merry warning:
We're on our way to haunt YOUR house. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
