Title:  Click, Clack, Boo!  A Tricky Treat

Author: Doreen Cronin

Illustrator:  Betsy Lewin

Summary:

Even though Farmer Brown doesn’t like Halloween, he leaves a bowl of candy on his porch for the trick-or-treaters before he climbs in bed and pulls the covers over his head.  As Farmer Brown is settling into his bed, cows, cats, mice, and sheep quietly creep into his barn.  After hearing strange noises, Farmer Brown looks out the window to see a dark creature standing under the trees.  Then, suddenly, a “quackle!” sound comes from outside his front door.  Farmer Brown opens the door to find…something that he just might enjoy!  Readers are treated to this Halloween story from the creators of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type.
