Moonlight is a cat who loves the night. She especially enjoys Halloween night because glowing pumpkins smile at her, and scarecrows give her a comfy lap to sit on. She enjoys following the children around as they go trick or treating from house to house. Halloween is a time when there are so many things to look at, and if Moonlight is lucky, she might even find something worth eating along the way.

With Melissa Sweet’s rich paintings, and Cynthia Rylant’s lyrical prose, this book captures the joys of Halloween from a unique perspective.
