At the old haunted house
In a room with no sun
Lived a warty green witch
And her wee witchy one.

There are all kinds of creatures in the house: a big Ma monster and her wee monsters two, a scrawny black cat and her wee kittens three, a green Pa goblin and his wee goblins four, and more! Count along as the creatures prepare for the Halloween Fright. The text, written in the pattern of the popular poem “Over in the Meadow,” makes reading aloud fun, while the cinematic illustrations set the scene for an unforgettable romp through the old haunted house. Trick or treat!

A Look Inside At the Old Haunted House

Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—An old haunted house is home to an assortment of creatures from "a warty green witch and her wee witchy one" to goblins, vampires, bats, black cats, werewolves, spiders, and more. Written in the pattern of the popular poem "Over in the Meadow," each page starts with the repeated phrase "At the old haunted house" and, on each page, the creatures increase in number from one to ten. The rhyme ends with three trick-or-treaters arriving and a Halloween fright party, which the creatures have been preparing for, bursting forth in celebration. The vibrant painted illustrations are dark, goofy, and mildly spooky. The text is simple rhyme with the creatures practicing spells, making strange noises, stirring brews, weaving webs, and other Halloween activities. Although the rhyme is occasionally awkward, this title will be in demand at the holiday and beyond. A rousing storyhour selection.—Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN

My toddler loves everything Halloween (especially vampires, bats, and witches) and this book has it all. The rhyming is perfect, which helps him memorize it and turn it into a song (he loves to do that). The illustrations are super colorful and fun. Fantastic book!

This book is a story that basically counts to 10 in a fun rhyme with very good illustrations. My 3 year old loves this book. Its a little spooky but more fun and mischievous. I didn't want anything scary.

Con todos los personajes posibles de una old haunted house y de una forma tierna y divertida, los niños pequeños aprenden a contar del 1 al 10 en inglés con una pequeña anécdota sobre ellos en cada página y un simpático final, junto con un empuje a la lectura en inglés y unos dibujos fantásticos.
