Who lit the first jack-o’-lantern? What creature of the night must return to his grave by dawn? And why do we holler “trick or treat”? J is for Jack-O’-Lantern: A Halloween Alphabet invites you to come along on this A-Z adventure and celebration of all things that “go bump in the night.” Poetry and prose combine to entertain and educate. Classic autumn games, jokes, and recipes (including gooey deviled egg eyeballs!) help round out the Halloween festivities. Atmospheric artwork by Donald Wu blends just enough fun with fright to provide the perfect backdrop.
