1-3Read & Bloom series.
Illustrated by
Sara Palacios.
In their second episodic four-chapter book, Clarabelle Chicken and Agnes Pig once again help each other overcome worries, this time while they celebrate holidays. Will the Maypole dance make Agnes dizzy? Will Clarabelle's too-scary costume ruin Halloween?
