Perfect for the littlest trick-or-treaters.

What's a witch to do when a rainstorm threatens the Halloween parade? Make it fun, that's what!

A little witch named Delia has been looking forward all year to flying in the annual Witch Parade. When the rumors of rain come true and the other witches start complaining, Delia takes action. Using her best magic, Delia changes the rain to cats and dogs. At first this goes over quite well, but she quickly realizes the animals cause a few issues. She must change the rain again! This time to hats and clogs. And finally, she tries bats and frogs. But each new type of rain brings its own set of problems. How will Delia save the day?

Review Quotes

""Young readers will enjoy the rhyming magic spells and humorous details in the double-page illustrations. The stormy blues and greens lend a slightly spooky mood to this Halloween tale, but the cheerful, chubby witches and amiable ghosties are friendly rather than frightening. A sweet and satisfying Halloween story to share with young audiences."" --School Library Journal
