This countdown book, by Janet Schulman, begins with a cheery band of 10 masked and costumed children leaving an apartment building to begin their night of fun. As they board a bus to go to a party and trick-or-treat from house to house, their number slowly diminishes as each successive child is frightened off by costumed creatures. A not-too-scary treat for the youngest Halloween fans.
