How many times do you remember going out on Halloween, knocking on a neighbor's door, cheering Trick or Treat? as the door opens and then hearing TRICK? No, well you must not have been that greedy of a costumed monster then or, perhaps you are more wicked than you are admitting. Either way, you'll learn a thing or two from this haunting story about gluttons and ghosts and ghouls and fools when it comes to the idea that more can never be more. What happens if you refuse to let even one door go unknocked? The night becomes more trick than treat very quickly, I assure you. See there are innocent looking houses in every neighborhood in which undead vampires, witches, ghouls, werewolves and ghosts are insanely waiting for your knock. Knock, knock, dear one, in stark denial, tonight, alas, you stand on trial. For mortal ones we all abhor must pay for knocking on our door. That's what happens in our fable-within-a-fable as our glutton knocks on the last door only to find his worst Halloween nightmare lurking behind it. After the doors unlock themselves and something slithers beneath his feet, will our poor soul make it out alive? Well let's just say the home dwellers believe death is a journey, not a destination. Knock Knock! Trick or Treat?! is a rhyming fable-within-a-fable that pulls you in and places you in the dead middle of all the witches, werewolves, vampires and ghosts -- costumed and undead! A fun, sometimes scary, sometimes TMI, clever tale that reminds everyone of Halloween's rules and roles and the lessons for life that transcend us mere mortals. Roecker's mastery and use of his signature sing-song verse writing style, sense of humor and keen insights on humanity make this entire book entertaining to read/perform with friends and the entire family. The lessons and insights the tale spotlights are good reminders for us all -- what happens when we're driven, not just by having more, but needing most? What are the signs we're missing that tell is when less is more? And how can we take these lessons and use them for more treats than tricks all year long? It's not as terrifying (to a few of you) as it may sound. There, there, my dear, why do you cry? You think you'll not live once you die? You'll live, my love, among us all, the great Undead who live for fall. See?! I mean, life can be pretty scary on its own, right? Think of this story as life with a few monsters making a welcoming, bubbly brew of poison then feasting on your soul. No big whoop! So what will you choose? Trick or Treat?
