(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Shelley. "Have you ever thrown / your trick-or-treat sack / on your back / on All Hallows' Eve / and taken your leave / of town?" So begins this account of a costumed child's Halloween-night journey into the woods. Bauer's free-form rhymes are creepy until the lighthearted twist ending. Shelley's chilling art features skeletons living in trees made of bones.
