Will Terry.
Big Witch and Little Witch "brew a stew." As it simmers, Big Witch--impressed by their tasty concoction--states that they "must have Skeleton for dinner." Skeleton, passing by, misinterprets her statement and fears the worst, leading to a comedy of errors. The occasionally rhyming verse, along with some changes in text size and font, create a natural rhythm for Halloween-themed read-alouds.
