A boy’s dread of things that go bump in the night fills his head with monstrous thoughts. So when he is separated from his older brothers on Halloween night and finds himself alone on Monster Street, he fears the worst!
Lightning flashes. Bats flap overhead. Doors squeak open. Hairy arms and tentacles drop spiders into his sack. The boy is relieved when he finally meets up with another trick-or-treater. That is, until his new friend removes his mask...
Illustrator Matt Faulkner’s ghoulishly entertaining illustrations capture the playful mood of Danny Schnitzlein’s clever verse. Children will love the surprising twists and turns of the plot, especially how the young hero conquers his fears...with a little help from his fiendish friends.
