*Witches' Night Before Halloween, written by Lesley Pratt Bannatyne and illustrated by Adrian, was released by Pelican Publishing for Halloween of '07. (Halloween is Adrian's favorite holiday.)

It's the night before Halloween, and these witches still have many last minute things to do! The witches are up to their elbows in cobwebs and slime, trying to make sure their witchlings are well prepared for their first Halloween broomstick ride. Featuring witches like Mad Maud and Snaggle Tooth Ruth and plenty of ghouls, zombies, monsters, skeletons and moldy cellars that will satisfy all Halloween lovers, this good natured book about these wickedly fun witches will have kids more amused than frightened.www.amazon.com/Witches-Before-Halloween-Lesley-Bannatyne/dp/1589804856/ref=sr_1_2/104-2822525-5196747
