What a perfect book to read on HALLOWEEN NIGHT!

Similar in style to ‘The Night Before Christmas’ HALLOWEEN NIGHT tells the story of the witch’s preparations for her Halloween party, including contributions from Ogre and Olaf, the twin ogre brothers as all the witch’s friends pitch in to help everything together before the neighborhood guests to arrive. Bright colorful illustrations accompany the entertaining text.
