(4) K-3 Illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. As a bell tolls midnight, a dog and a cat observe a procession of supernatural creatures. Couplet verses count backward as eleven witches, ten ghosts, and so on are introduced in busy, amusing illustrations. The ending is predictable (everyone has gathered for a Halloween party) in this not-too-scary book that will appeal to kids who like their wizards friendly and their spiders smiling.
