PreS—Children dressed as witches are gathered around a kitchen table putting all sorts of food from the cupboards and refrigerator in a giant black cauldron. This image sets the scene for a very simple story of children (or witches) getting ready for their Halloween outing. The whimsical and vibrant colors in Williams's pictures make this story great fun to view and help to move the rhyming text forward. Youngsters with different physical abilities are obvious when the children go trick-or-treating. Readers see a child in a wheelchair and another with leg braces and crutches. It is refreshing to see them depicted without making a point of mentioning them. With one line of text per page, this is a good choice for Halloween-themed storyhours.—Lora Van Marel, Orland Park Public Library, IL
