Herbert’s First Halloween

Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Steven Henry

Herbert, a little pig, is uncertain about Halloween, while his father eagerly prepares for it. When Herbert decides to dress as a tiger, his dad measures him and sews a costume with ears, a tail, and clawed paws as Herbert practices roaring. They carve a smiling pumpkin, talk about candy, and choose a large bucket for collecting it. With his father’s gentle reassurance, Herbert experiences his first night of trick-or-treating and offers tiger-like thank-yous along the way.
