PreS-Gr 1âOctober 31 is here, and Pug and Pig are decked out in matching skeleton costumes. Pig couldn't be happier, but Pug can't stand the tight outfit, and he's afraid no one will recognize him in his mask. He rips apart the costume, deciding that this holiday isn't for him, but Pig is crestfallen at the prospect of celebrating Halloween without her pal. So Pug discovers a way to enjoy the festivities on his own terms. Coating himself with mud and calling himself Pig's shadow, Pug feels much more comfortable and readily joins in the fun. Softly rounded illustrations complement the concise, matter-of-fact text. Roly-poly Pig and Pug are utterly expressive. Despite the appropriately dark palette, there are no frightening ghouls or goblins here, and cozy details abound, such as the decorative scarecrow (a sweetly smiling sunflower dressed in overalls) and a wreath festooned with a cheery little ghost. Children, especially those a bit apprehensive about the holiday, will applaud Pug's solution and appreciate his willingness to seek a compromise.
