Illustrated by
Diana Cain Bluthenthal.
Eager to make the worst monster imaginable, an old hag mixes up a nasty brew. Alas, she forgets to add eye of newt and ends up with Daisy, a cute little girl, instead. The old woman is miserable until Halloween when the girl puts on an ugly old hag mask. Whimsical illustrations add an amusing contrast between the mean hag and the sweet girl.
