Учкай маалымат
Bong! Goes the bell in the rickety tower,
Twelve times . . . that means it's Spooky Hour.
Hubble bubble, what's that smell?
Eleven witches stir their spell . . .
The creepy countdown has begun, so get ready to giggle at funny, floaty ghosts, clickety-clackety skeletons and terrific tromping trolls!
Count down to Halloween with this rollicking, romping story from award-wining author Tony Mitton. With hilarious, glowing artwork by Guy Parker-Rees, illustrator of the bestselling Giraffes Can't Dance.
