Dog and Bear: Tricks and Treats

(2) K-3 In their latest offering, the two best friends prepare Halloween costumes; receive trick-or-treaters; and go trick-or-treating themselves. The simple text is satisfying in its specificity and characterizations. The illustrations support the text and illuminate the characters' emotions, particularly with their expressive eyebrows. (Seeger's art also slips in some extra plot points.) The wordless last page changes everything in the final story.
