This is for all the children who do not go out trick-or-treating, whatever the reason. And for the friends of these children, who are sure to understand.
THIS HALLOWEEN NIGHT (a story in two voices) Tonight, I’ll go out. I’d rather stay in. My costume looks great. This book makes me grin. I say, “trick-or-treat”. We turn out the lights The candy piles up. The popcorn’s just right. Some goblins and ghosts. A movie with Mom. Carved pumpkins aglow. It’s perfectly calm. At Hailey’s we stop. A cozy big chair My feet need a rest. One blanket to share. That spooky dark house My favorite time Is haunted, for sure. Is making green slime. My bag fills up fast My dad bakes a pie. This neighborhood rocks! This evening flies by! I see the last house. I look at the clock. I pick up my pace. The door, I unlock. “Brianna, I’m here!” “Hooray! Come inside.” The best stop is last. My friend has arrived. We sit on the floor. She dumps out her loot. This Halloween night Is best spent with you.
