T. Rex Trick-or-Treats
Author: Lois G. Grambling
Illustrator: Jack E. Davis
Overview
Join T. Rex and his friends as they try to find the perfect scary costume for Halloween trick-or-treating. Is it a bat? Or a cat? Or maybe a jack-o’-lantern? Or maybe T. Rex should just wear his big, toothy grin. Lois G. Grambling and Jack E. Davis’s delightful, frightful tale teaches that, sometimes, what you need just might be in the last place you look-yourself.

Haunted Ghoul Bus
Author: Lisa Trumbauer
Illustrator: Jannie Ho
Overview: Of course children know about the big yellow school bus…but have they ever heard about the haunted ghoul bus? It’s wilder and way cooler, with a Mutant Mummy driver and a menagerie of monster passengers. But one Halloween day someone else gets on board by mistake: a normal little boy. Soon he’s taking a ride with a furry werewolf, a skeleton whose rickety bones go clitter-clatter, a grinning pumpkin head, a swirl of bats, and a friendly witch named Dolores.
Told in fun and appealing rhyme, and featuring holiday-bright illustrations of a cast of unforgettable characters, this playful picture book has sturdy cardstock pages and embossing throughout. It’s perfect for celebrating a (not too) scary Halloween. Kids will want the ghoul bus to come to their neighborhood, too!
