A laugh out loud ending that my twins absolutely adore. It’s an absolute must-read with your little ones this Halloween.

- Fiona Eaton, Reviewer, Mini Travellers

“The author’s use of rhyme and alliteration adds a playful cadence to the narrative. … This lighthearted read-aloud is a good choice for parents and librarians seeking a Halloween story that will leave youngsters giggling and eager for tales more silly than spooky.”
