The Alphabet letters are getting ready for a Halloween celebration when a ghost comes along and scares them all out of the tree. The ghost invites them all back - and each of the letters finds something out of the jumble on the ground as a new costume.

The beginning of the story has a nice call and response that students can quickly learn and use. After the interruption I really liked that none of the letters complained about the mixed up costumes - they found something to wear and got on with their party. While not by the original author and illustrator, Chung keeps it within the right spirit.
