Wild Witches' Ball

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kelly Asbury. Counting down from ten to one, this lively alliterative rhyme describes the festivities at the witches' annual ball. "Ten tall crones / with moans and groans / battled in barrels / with bats and bones." Published previously in Witch Poems (1976), the text displays Prelutsky's trademark rich language. The illustrations, while not quite as distinctive, are suitably wild and crazy.
