Synopsis
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!

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Eerie yet amusing illustrations and a romping, rhyming text add up to fun in this Halloween counting book. Schindler's ink-and-watercolor artwork is a fine fit for Leuck's action-packed, easy-to-read text. "One witch/on a hill/had an empty pot/to fill." Night is slowly falling as various creepy creatures each hand the witch gruesome tidbits for a tasty stew, including a claw, a tail, slugs, a rattlesnake, and a moth. Plenty of alliteration seasons the text and adds to the flowing cadence. Some characters' faces seem a bit scary, but deliciously so, and there's plenty of humor in the highly detailed scenes. A slimy slug with bulging eyes scurries toward the witch's shopping bag on the title page, and diving and darting bats on the endpapers foreshadow spooky fun. Pointing out these droll illustrations will no doubt bring a big grin to youngsters' faces. A terrific choice for holiday storytimes, especially before serving up the refreshments.
