Product Description:
The book of the Halloween season that’s sure to become a year-round classic.
One witch, on a hill, had an empty pot to fill. So what does that one witch do? She goes around to visit all her fiendish friends, naturally; two cats, three scarecrows, four goblins, five vampires, six mummies, seven owls, eight ghosts, nine skeletons, and ten werewolves.
At every stop they contribute ghoulishly tasty ingredients until the witch has enough to make a properly gruesome stew for her party. Then, of course, she must send out her invitations; to the ten werewolves, nine
skeletons, eight ghosts, seven owls, six mummies…
Count up and count down again as one witch gets ready for a fun-filled monster bash. Come along, they’ve got a special surprise waiting just…FOR…YOU!

my three-year-old son loves this book we read it every night before bed at his request. I just purchased "My mama monster love me so" and "Jeepers creepers" both by Laura Leuck and they are instant hits with my son. Really worth reading whether it's Halloween time or not.

This has got to be one of my and my kids favorite halloween time books. The writing is very clever, the pictures in the book are really cool. I started reading this book to my kids when they were about four years old. They continue to read the book on their own and now they are about ages six and eight. Great book on every level.

One witch treks about collecting a shopping bag full of ghoulish ingredients for her stew. Told in rhyme, it's also a counting book from one to ten and then back down: "Five vampires on the loose, gave the witch some fresh blood juice."
The mummies, scarecrows, ghosts and skeletons contributing to the stew are mostly a jolly sort illustrated in a variety of poses and suitably murky colors. The tenth grouping of characters (werewolves) disturbed me a little with their oversized heads and sharp teeth. I deducted one star for this.
The story ends with all the characters partying and enjoying their stew. The pacing and excellent illustrations make this a natural for reading to a group of preschoolers at Halloween.

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 very 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.
