(3) PS Illustrated by Jed Henry. A lyrical text delivers advice on handling Halloween frights. Muted autumnal-toned watercolors detail the menace ("If the ghosts in the trees / wibble-wobble your knees, / what do you say?"), while the following page depicts reality (homemade tissue ghosts hanging from strings) and the trick-or-treaters' reaction: "Boo!" This gentle balance of anxiety and lightheartedness captures the fun of Halloween.
