Humbug Witch

Our Halloween party yesterday was so much fun.  We had Trick or Treating around the library's various department, and awesome photo booth, a scavenger hunt, and make your own spiders, mummies, and monster crafts.  We kicked off the party with a special Halloween storytime for all ages.

 For the storytime, I adapted Lorna Balian's Humbug Witch to a flannel board display.  This story adapted well because at the end, the witch starts to take off her "witchy" gear, finally revealing that she was a little girl all along.  It is a fun surprise ending the for the kiddos, and is definitely not a scary book so it is suitable for all ages.  I had fun telling the story and I think the kids had fun listening to it!
