EVELYN WITCH GETS A PET written by Beth Ferry, illustrated by Charles Santoso

My favorite Halloween heroine this year comes from the collaboration of clever wordsmith writer Beth Ferry and her playful illustrator Charles Santoso. They bring us EVELYN WITCH GETS A PET. Evelyn wakes surrounded by all the proper elements of Halloween—her perfectly carved pumpkins, perfectly bubbling potions and her perfectly messy hair. Her feelings are far from perfect and she wonders the cause until she discovers her desire for a pet. Sadly, low on funds all she can afford is a mystery pet, an unhatched egg. “Sniveling snails,” says Evelyn who utters this frustrated statement several times as she searches for a way to hatch her pet-to-be. Her surprise and ours comes at the end when her perfect pet hatches.Find a link to the book in the purchase button below.
