Book Description

“The last day of October had finally arrived. The empty house at the end of the street mysteriously came to life.” Oliver, the ghost who lives in that empty house, lives for Halloween! He always has a big party. To get ready, he puts dust on the furniture, welcomes the spiders, wakes up the black cats, and delivers his invitations! This time, though, one envelope goes astray and two human trick-or-treaters show up. Are treats—or tricks—in order? Simple, cartoonish watercolor and pencil illustrations complement this sweet tale of the spirit of generosity and acceptance.

As kindhearted as the more well known Casper (the friendly ghost), Oliver the ghost sends out invitations to his annual Halloween party at his haunted house. To get ready, Oliver sprinkles dust on the furniture, stirs the black cats from their sleep, and welcomes all the spiders hidden in the house. His guests start showing up to his delight, although one envelopehas been delivered accidentally to a pair of human trick-or-treaters. How will Oliver handle them? Spook them or show them a good time?

Trick or Treat has an art style similar to Liza Donnelly’s Dinosaurs’ Halloween, but with an even more lighthearted story. The illustrations showcase a particularly clever couple of pages in which Oliver answers his door for guests. Perfect story to prepare for a night of trick-or-treating of for a Halloween party.
