Scaredy-Cat, Splat! (Splat the Cat)

It's Halloween, and Splat is determined to be the scariest cat in the class.

Unfortunately he's just too much of a scaredy-cat. He's afraid of a little spider, and everyone says his costume looks more silly than scary.

And when Mrs. Wimpydimple tells a ghost story in the dark, Splat gets so frightened that he tips over his jack-o'-lantern.

But when the lights go back on, the entire class is scared silly by a small, black, furry creature with a big pumpkin head. Whooooo can it be?

• Costume Contest Woes: Splat desperately wants the class prize for scariest cat, but his witch’s broom snaps and his homemade outfit gets more giggles than gasps.
