It's Almost Time for Halloween

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Knight. A child runs down everything kids need to do to prepare for Halloween. First, they have to decorate according to a theme. “Like spiders, ghouls—there are no rules.” Then, it’s time to select a pumpkin, make a jack-o’-lantern, and so on. Colorful carbon-pencil and acrylic-gouache illustrations with digital elements in traditional fall and Halloween colors feature a diverse set of children planning for the big day. Oso’s rhythmic text makes for an engaging holiday read-aloud.
