Cookie & Broccoli: Scariest Halloween Ever!: A Graphic Novel
by Bob McMahon (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: This Halloween, best friends Cookie and Broccoli revel in funny tricks and sweet treats in this early graphic novel for chapter book readers. In the first story, Broccoli’s not a fan of his classmates’ scary Halloween pranks, so his best buddy Cookie loans Broccoli his superhero costume–because Super Broccoli isn’t afraid of anything! That is, until the ultimate fright has Broccoli fleeing for the big, scary woods behind their school, where he comes across someone in a Sasquatch costume. (It is just a costume . . . right?) Then, in the second story, Cookie and Broccoli’s classmates learn an important lesson about scaring others and making assumptions about newcomers (yes, even big, hairy Sasquatches). And in the final story, Cookie has to choose between his friends or his obsession with Halloween candy!

This 48-page comic also includes an introduction by David Bowles, the ecological, cultural, and historical background of these tales, and a bibliography.
