Halloween
By Harry Behn
Illustrated by Greg Couch

Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheves and leaves
Everywhere
When ghoul and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen
It’s Halloween!

Luminous, haunting illustrations of three trick-or-treaters’ moonlit revels capture the spooky, spine-tingling thrill of this magical night.

There Once Was a Puffin
By Florence Page Jaques
Illustrated by Shari Halpern

Oh, there once was a puffin,
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island in the bright blue sea!

But the dear little puffin is lonely on his island for he has no one to play with. Children will rejoice when the muffin-shaped puffin comes up with a simple—and simply delicious—solution to his problem. Bright, bold pictures of a singularly appealing puffin bring this classic nonsense verse to life for the youngest listener.

I Like Cats
By Patricia Hubbell
Illustrated by Pamela Paparone

"I like cats!" declares the narrator of this rollicking paean to cats of every conceivable description: "Thin cats, fat cats, curl-up-in-my-lap cats. Farm cats, city cats, sing-a-little-ditty cats." This comic, charming cattery is purrfect for cat lovers of all ages.

PARKLANE PUBLISHING
