It's Halloween is a 1977 picture book written by American author Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Marylin Hafner. [1] It is a collection of children's poems with a Halloween theme, and is one of Prelutsky's four holiday-themed books for beginning readers. [2] The book was republished in October 2002 as Halloween Countdown, with pictures by American author and illustrator Dan Yaccarino. [3]

The edition published by Scholastic Book Services (a division of Scholastic Inc.) omits one poem titled "Trick...". As a result, the subsequent poem "...or Treat" was retitled as simply "Treat". [4] The Scholastic edition also omits several pages and illustrations.
