A Halloween Brew of Poems Just For You

Through witty rhymes with a twist of suspense and mystery, A Halloween Brew of Poems Just for You leads the reader on a Halloween journey they will long remember. There’s a No Entry sign on an oddly lit door, a mummy trapped in a poem, a mysterious empty house in a glen, a witch with a pointed tale to tell and a ghostly bell that rings from a church on a hill. All of these poems and more are combined with rich illustrations that stir the imagination. This book will surely become a family favorite for many Halloweens to come.
