AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A little girl heads outside only to find 10 pumpkins, 9 cats (loved that illustration, 8 bats (with wings that look like patchwork quilts) 7 goblins etc. 

 So many characters of Halloween represented in delightful, whimsical and a little bit creepy illustrations. The author's note at the end is a delightful nostalgic romp through his midwestern childhood. While children will like this counting book, adults and teachers will also love "10 Spooky Pumpkins"- so much fun!
