Witch's Stew

Description

Witch's Stew is a story in poetry form about an inquisitive child (boy or girl) who follows a haggard old witch into the forest, finds her cave, and secretly watches as she prepares her special stew for "ghost's and goblin's day". It is designed as an interactive book between reader and child, and suggested "props" are provided to make the experience even more suspenseful. The theme of the book includes a practical lesson on the importance of using one's eyes, brain, and heart to ensure each child has SAFE fun during Halloween.
