(3) K-3 Illustrated by Howard Fine. With a witch's brew of wordplay, alliteration, and deliberately bad jokes, Palatini stirs up trouble when two witch-sisters get together for their "howliday party." The sisters are grownups, but you wouldn't know it, so quickly do the taunts--and pillows--fly: "You're a fright for sore eyes!" While the text is more a succession of one-liners and tart rejoinders than it is a story, reading it aloud is lots of fun. Fine's dynamic paintings are as brassy as the text.
