It's Halloween - woo-hoo! - and Bear is determined to scare Mouse. Mouse, however, isn't fooled by Bear's clumsy attempts to dress up . . . Bear's ghostly wail is just plain silly and his werewolf smells of wet dog. But wait! Who's knocking at the door now? This mysterious monster might just scare them both!
Watch out, it's Fright Night! Will YOU be fooled by Bear's spooky costumes?

About the Creators: Ross Collins's primary 1 teacher, Mrs Spears, told his parents that he should go to art school. 13 years went by until he was finally 'old enough' to get into the Glasgow School of Art. Can you believe that? - 13 years. On graduating he won the Macmillan Prize for his first picture book. Since then he's illustrated over 100 books for children and written a few of them too. Several of them have won enormous glittering awards which he keeps in a box in Latvia. Ross's book The Elephantom was recently adapted into a critically acclaimed play by those clever people at the National Theatre who made that War Horse thing. When he's not creating children's books he enjoys working on character development for animation studios like Laika and Disney. He also likes walking in the Scottish glens with his dog Hugo, who is an idiot, and his partner Jacqui and son Ridley, who are not.
