- After the sun sets slowly over the pumpkin patch, a cat begins to feel frightened. She realizes that it must be Halloween. The cat and her three kittens live beneath an old house, next to the steps which lead to the front door. The mother cat warns her kittens not to go out, to close their eyes and to cover their ears. From their home, the family of cats watch in fear as a skeleton, a ghost, a vampire, a werewolf, two witches, several goblins and gremlins and the Devil pass by their home.

| - The central characters in the story are a mother cat and her three kittens. The mother cat is the story's main narrator. She genuinely believes that Halloween is a dangerous night when all manner of monsters and supernatural beings are loose. She warns her kittens not to go out on that night. The cats believe that they see a lot of scary creatures walk past their home. They do not realize that they are only children wearing costumes. Like the cats in the story, young children may not realize that the ghosts and monsters in the story are only costumed trick-or-treaters the first time that the story is read to them. Parents may like to point out details in the illustrations that show the scary creatures are just boys and girls in disguise.
- After the sun sets slowly over the pumpkin patch, a cat begins to feel frightened. She realizes that it must be Halloween. The cat and her three kittens live beneath an old house, next to the steps which lead to the front door. The mother cat warns her kittens not to go out, to close their eyes and to cover their ears. From their home, the family of cats watch in fear as a skeleton, a ghost, a vampire, a werewolf, two witches, several goblins and gremlins and the Devil pass by their home. The kittens hear a loud sound. Their mother explains that the sound is being made by the feet of a "creature in a winding sheet". The kittens are afraid that the creature might be coming to get them. The "creature", however, ignores the cats and says, "Trick-or-treat", to the owner of the house. The creature is revealed to be simply a boy in a mummy costume. The cats did not see any real ghosts or monsters, just children wearing costumes. After the "creature" has gone, the mother cat declares that it is safe for she and her kittens to go out and hunt until dawn. See the article on Scary, Scary Halloween on Fandom's Literature wiki.
