| Kindergarten-Grade 2-Eerie yet amusing illustrations and a romping, rhyming text add up to fun in this Halloween counting book. Schindler's ink-and-watercolor artwork is a fine fit for Leuck's action-packed, easy-to-read text. "One witch/on a hill/had an empty pot/to fill." Night is slowly falling as various creepy creatures each hand the witch gruesome tidbits for a tasty stew, including a claw, a tail, slugs, a rattlesnake, and a moth. Plenty of alliteration seasons the text and adds to the flowing cadence. Some characters' faces seem a bit scary, but deliciously so, and there's plenty of humor in the highly detailed scenes. A slimy slug with bulging eyes scurries toward the witch's shopping bag on the title page, and diving and darting bats on the endpapers foreshadow spooky fun. Pointing out these droll illustrations will no doubt bring a big grin to youngsters' faces. A terrific choice for holiday storytimes, especially before serving up the refreshments. |

| This was sitting in the middle of my local Barnes & Noble's Halloween kiosk in the children's section. It was perfect timing, because I was in the mood for halloween reading for my 3 1/2 year-old. One look at the pictures and he was sold...
I love this because it reminds me of the books that we'd have read to us during Story Hour at the local library in the early 1970's when I was a kid.
The illustrations are delightfully creepy and are very reminiscent of something film maker Tim Burton would have created. The story is simple and leads your child through his first ten numbers and the characters that are introduced along the way are perfectly suited to this halloween adventure.
Makes me ALMOST not miss those old Dorie books (by Patricia Coombs) as much!
Highly recomended for parents who aren't afraid of something that is actually a bit creepy and spooky and not rooted in some other insipid pop-culture source.
