Synopses & Reviews
The book of the Halloween season thats sure to become a year-round classic.
One witch, on a hill, had an empty pot to fill. So what does that one witch do? She goes around to visit all her fiendish friends, naturally; two cats, three scarecrows, four goblins, five vampires, six mummies, seven owls, eight ghosts, nine skeletons, and ten werewolves.
At every stop they contribute ghoulishly tasty ingredients until the witch has enough to make a properly gruesome stew for her party. Then, of course, she must send out her invitations; to the ten werewolves, nine
skeletons, eight ghosts, seven owls, six mummies…
Count up and count down again as one witch gets ready for a fun-filled monster bash. Come along, theyve got a special surprise waiting just…FOR…YOU!
