One by one, a bat, a cat, a werewolf, a monster, a mummy, a zombie, and other frightful creatures emerge in the dark house. They chase, wrestle, and roar - until the doorbell rings and in walks a group of fearless trick-or-treaters who know exactly what to do. Judy Sierra lives in Springfield, Oregon.Children's LiteratureThis is a ferociously funny story with a cast of fearsome creatures bolting to life in Drac's haunted house all due to the cat that bit the bat... etc. The chain action intensifies as the monster, mummy, zombie, etc. chase, startle, or wrestle each other with abandon until a knock at the door stops the ruckus. Who can it be? A gaggle of costumed children appear and calmly tame the wild one, treat their wounds and then resume their own Halloween celebrating. Built on the familiar pattern of The House that Jack Built, Sierra's text bristles with energy, rhythm, and freshness. The illustrations are appropriately macabre and extend the madcap humor of the text.
