Capucilli. Inside a House That is Haunted

Inside a House That is Haunted is a children's book by Alyssa Capucilli, with art by Tedd Arnold, published in 1999. It is available at the Internet Archive.

Here is a YouTube read-along:

The book is a "rebus read-along," and you can see how that works below; the verses are in rhyming couplets, and the chain goes from hand to spider to ghost to cat to bat to owl to mummy to skeleton to monster:

And so the story ends: that woke the monster who stomped on huge feet, threw open the door, and heard, "TRICK OR TREAT!" inside a house that is haunted.

Whereupon everyone runs! The trick-or-treater is scary!

This is a fun book, especially because of the twist at the end where the little kid is the scariest of all!
