It is Halloween, and Black Cat wants to go trick-or-treating with her friends. Unfortunately, they all seem to be busy. Owl is making cookies, Little Witch is making punch in her cauldron, Ghost is carving a jack-o’-lantern, bat is learning a new dance, and spider is spinning webby decorations. Doesn’t anyone want to go trick-or-treating with Black Cat?

With its colorful illustrations and its cunning little story, little children are sure to enjoy this Clackers title. The story has a clever surprise ending, and when the tale is done, children can clack the sturdy board pages together.
