PreS-K—Five young trick-or-treaters are preparing for Halloween. Two eyes are cut out of a sheet and face paint is applied to a little boy's nose. One costume is complete with the addition of a black cat, another with the application of hair gel and a ketchup drop. Simple rhyming sentences ("It's Halloween night. My costume's just right./With my satin gown and golden crown,/I'm a ...") and colorful, uncluttered illustrations give clues to the costume, but the answer isn't revealed until the page is turned. Children can find stars, spiders, bats, and pumpkins hidden in the backgrounds of each colorful spread. This not-so-scary Halloween book is filled with smiles and treats.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada
