Witches' Night before Halloween

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adrian Tans. Borrowing from Clement C. Moore's classic poem, Bannatyne offers readers a glimpse of the work witches put into preparing for Halloween. A coven of witches calls up skeletons, carves pumpkins, and drapes spiderwebs. The text features some clever turns-of-phrase and some tired clichés. The illustrations are similarly mixed in visual interest: some are appropriately spooky while others are too tentative.
