Four young trick-or-treaters head off to the witch's house in this entertaining Halloween romp of a picture-book, meeting a number of frightening figures along the way. From an owl to a ghost, Dracula to Frankenstein, there are many creepy creatures to be found out and about on this night, and everyone seems to be headed in the same direction...

Published in 2005, We're Off to Find the Witch's House appears to be kindergarten teacher Richard Krieb's only book. It features a deliciously spooky story, one which is told both through Krieb's rhythmically rhyming text and veteran illustrator R.W. Alley's cute illustrations.

We're Off to Find the Witch's House by Mr. Kreib

A group of children set out to rhythmicly, rhymingly find the witch's house.

There's a lot of good descriptive words here, so it's great for preschoolers, builds vocabulary and all that. What I really like, though, is the meter - it's really bouncy in all the right spots.
