One sweet. That’s the rule. Wesley Bell has other ideas.

It’s Halloween, the pumpkins are glowing and Wesley is determined to collect as many sweets as humanly possible. But there’s a problem: people give you less when they can see how full your trick-or-treat bag already is.

Wesley’s solution? Eat the sweets to make room for more.

And more.

And then the wrappers.

The Greedy Trick-or-Treat Monster is a funny, slightly scary Halloween story for kids from Mr Morton’s Barmy Book of Bonkers Bits, full of trick-or-treating, sweets, muddy footprints, suspicious hedges and something you really don’t want following you home.
