"On Halloween, Old Witch baked a scrumptious Halloween pie. Then, setting it aside to cool, she leaped on her broom and flew off to make some mischief. Soon the wind began to blow. It blew down Old Witch's chimney and out her window. It blew through the trees and over the graveyard fence. And with it went the spicy scent of Halloween pie. Zombie in his cave sniffed the wind. Skeleton in his grave sniffed the wind. Vampire, Banshee, Ghoul, and Ghost sniffed the wind. Then they all rose from the graveyard and followed their noses to Old Witch's cottage. This delicious Halloween romp, filled with spooky sounds and midnight magic, begs to be read aloud again and again and again." from MichaelOTunnell.com
We love this book. The creatures who come to steal the pie are creepy enough to make for a good spooky Halloween story - but the illustrations are just cute enough to not be scary. Everything turns out alright in the end - and who doesn't love a happy ending!
We all love pumpkin pie at our house (OK, not Emily - but everyone else), which makes this book all the more pleasing. Also features a pumpkin pie recipe in the back. I made it once, not the best I've ever tasted, but not bad.
Make a pumpkin pie, then snuggle up and read this spooky tale with your little one's while it cools.

That sounds cute. Do you have a good pumpkin pie recipe from scratch that you can email me? You can't get the canned pumpkin pie filling here and I really want to make one for Thanksgiving.
