Illustrated by
Adam Record.
A school is beset by ghoulies, to the rhythm of "The Ants Go Marching." On the final spread, the monsters--some of them, at least--are revealed to be kids costumed for Halloween. The catchy rhyming verse and humorous cartoony illustrations are enough to warrant an encore. An appended chart helps sort out the math (one by one, two by two...).
