"A loveable hot dog named Weenie gets dressed up for Halloween....Weenie loves Halloween, but try as they might, just can’t decide what to be on this night. What will Weenie choose to be? Should they be cute or scary? Hairless or hairy? On a night like Halloween, the choices are endless!" --publisher's website

In a tall, tall tree, at the tip-tippy top, hangs a single red apple... Along skirts Mouse. “An apple!” she squeaks, "How divine! When it tumbles to the ground, it’ll all be mine!” And so it goes, for Hare, Fox, Deer, and Bear, who each can't wait to get their hands on the apple. Soon the wind huffs and puffs, the branch snips and snaps, and down the apple falls. Only one shiny red apple for five furry creatures? What are they to do?!

"On a cold, snowy night, all is quiet throughout the house except for a small, michievous mouse." --
