(2) K-3 Witches Wizzle and Woddle find snapshots from last year's monster party documenting how badly various guests behaved. So this year they put up signs: e.g., "No Ghosts, Skeletons, or Vampires Allowed." They are just about to ban witches when they realize that they are the witches in the photos and that last year's party had been a blast. Novak's nonthreatening-looking witches keep the atmosphere congenial and light.
