A HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN: Monday, October 26


4 days, 2 hours, 3 minutes until Halloween! And now the second book in my Halloween Countdown...

Hoodwinked by Arthur Howard
Here's a title that's silly & sweet, not scary at all! From Amazon.com: "Despite the theme of witches and creepy critters, this is a very uncreepy, sweet, and unthreatening picture book suitable for children just getting into things spooky. Mitzi is a right little witch. She lives in a sort of permanent Halloween, surrounded by cobwebs and dubious-looking aunts in pointy hats. She wants a pet--a really, really creepy pet, please--but, despite repeated broomstick-flights to Cackle & Co. pet store, she just can't get one that satisfies. Finally a kitten named Hoodwink shows up at the door, is almost turned away on account of being horribly cuddly and nice... and turns out to be just perfect."

Note: I hear dragons make wonderful pets...
