Two Little Witches: A Halloween Counting Story

Harriet Ziefert. Candlewick Press (MA), $9.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-56402-621-7

Little goblins learn to count to 10 with this yarn--and they'll pick up some good costume ideas, too. What is counted are trick-or-treating friends: two witches who meet up with a clown, a skeleton, and so forth. Nothing macabre whatsoever here--just happy, brightly colored characters on a slightly spooky mission for candy. Ages 2-5. (Sept.)
