Petal and Poppy and the Spooky Halloween!

(4) K-3 Green Light Readers series. Illustrated by Ed Briant. After spooking "scaredy-cat" elephant Petal, rhino Poppy removes her mask and explains, "But it is still me. See?" Roles are soon reversed when Poppy is frightened by a haunted house, and Petal bravely befriends a ghost. ("It is only a costume," Petal tells herself.) But could it be a real ghost? The text and friendly comic book–style illustrations suggest conflicting answers, befuddling readers.
