Hey Irma! This is Halloween! — Harriet Ziefert

Meet Hank and his dog, Irma. Irma is no ordinary dog. She thinks she's a real person. And so, on Halloween it seems only fair that Irma gets to dress up, too. As Hank gets ready to go trick-or-treating, Irma is not happy about being left out of the festivities...and she makes her feelings oh-so-clear. It seems Irma needs a costume, too...and a trick-or-treat bag as well. In big, expressive, comic illustrations, and text clearly rendered within speech balloons to draw reluctant readers into the action, Harriet Ziefert and Barry Gott introduce beginning readers to Hank and his puppy pal, Irma, in this first book in the "Hey Irma!" series.
