WE’RE OFF TO FIND THE WITCH’S HOUSE
by Mr. Krieb




A romp through the neighborhood on Halloween night.

It’s Halloween night, and as the moon rises, four children set off to find the witch’s house. A Wizard. A Cowboy. A Pirate. A Superhero. On their way, they encounter a host of silly , spooky characters, from a skittle-skattleing skeleton to a shirking, lurking Dracula. Can they make it all the way to the withch’s house, or will their fears get the best of them?

This was a lot of fun to picture. So many, many ways to take the words. Not too scary. Not too soft. Are the spooks real? Or....

A very good read-aloud.

Boo!
