Description:

What do you get when you mix greasy, slimy sweat from a speckled frog with 16 scrappy scorpions, 17 sticky spiders, 6 slithery snakes, 6 squishy snails, and eye of newt? The meanest, most evil monster in the world. Unfortunately, if you leave out the eye of newt, the results are not exactly the same. When an evil old hag, the second-meanest creature alive (her cat, Hisss, is the meanest), decides to make one Halloween the "darkest, spookiest, creepiest" ever, she is sure she has the perfect recipe. Appalled at the sweet little girl named Daisy who eventually emerges from her cauldron, the crone does everything in her power to turn her mean, but it looks like lovable Daisy may have some table-turning tricks up her own pink sleeve.

This hilariously original story by Kevin Somers will have young readers giggling into their witches' brew on Halloween--and all year round. Diana Cain Bluthenthal's sickly greens, spooky browns, and murky purples set the scene beautifully. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
