Love These Halloween Books

First is The Hallo-Wiener written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey.  This is a book that will give everyone a good laugh.  The story of Oscar the Wiener Dog and his unfortunate halloween costume.  By the end of the story Oscar will go from Wiener Dog to Hero Sandwich.   The only other comment I have is WHAT WAS HIS MOTHER THINKING?



Next up Ghosts in the House! written and illustrated by Kazuno Kohara.  I was first attracted to this little gem because of the illustrations.  They reminded me of books from my childhood.  This is a happy Halloween story about a very clever girl that knows how to take care of the ghosts.  Adorable!

The FriendSHIP


It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free


Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
