(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jos. A. Smith. This Halloween tale is not for the faint of heart. A scary witch has everything she wants--except a child. She fashions herself a daughter out of straw, but the girl doesn't come to life until a real child is in danger. Smith's dark, moody paintings set the scene in the present day, making the eerie story even scarier for its immediacy.
