“This countdown book begins with a cheery band of 10 masked and
costumed children leaving an apartment building to begin their
night of fun. As they board a bus to go to a party and
trick-or-treat from house to house, their number slowly diminishes
as each successive child is frightened off by costumed vampires,
mummies, a frog, a bat, and other spooky creatures. The last brave
child returns to her apartment, climbs happily into bed, and then
there were none. The book ends with a yummy array of different
types of candy that kids will enjoy counting. Schulman’s rhythmic
text will be enjoyed as a read-aloud as well as by beginning
readers. Davick’s vibrant graphic art is chockablock with shapes
and angles that keep the mood light and the creatures and costumed
monsters more fun than frightening. A not-too-scary treat for the
youngest Halloween fans.”—School Library Journal
“Vibrant depictions of clever costumes will set readers to dreaming
of their own Halloween escapades.”—Kirkus Reviews
