On Halloween night, a trick-or-treater wanders into a forest full of rattling bones.
A girl with a trick-or-treat sack ventures into the dark woods on Halloween night and finds cat bones, rat bones and bat bones, all looking at her. The bone creatures warn that she has met her worst nightmare, but she is too tough to worry about rattling bones. Told in unmetered rhyming verse, this is a spooky and playful Halloween adventure.

Despair! the bone creatures cry. "You can bet you've just met your worst nightmare!" What will you do? Cry? Sigh? NO! Because you're too tough / to worry about stuff / like the rattle / and prattle / of bones! Told in unmetered rhymed verse, this Halloween adventure is a real treat.
