The bright illustrations and zany humor make this book about telling the difference between wants and needs shine.

A brilliant introduction to the difference between fact an opinion, encouraging interactivity and participation.

"A fact is anything that can be proven TRUE or FALSE....An opinion is something that you FEEL and you BELIEVE but you cannot prove."

A little witch encourages everyone to march, stomp, and shake as they follow along with her. A clown, werewolf, mummy, and skeleton join in the fun, and before the night is through a surprise is revealed.

The Bottom Line: With large print and a surprise twist ending, this Halloween gem is sure to entertain preschoolers. Illustrated in pencil and graphic software. Perfect for story time and getting kids to follow along.
