Newsletter for the Week of October 14th

A little old lady is walking home through the forest on a cold October evening. She is accosted by some spooky figures trying to scare her: a pair of shoes, some pants, a shirt, a hat, and some gloves. This, however, is a singularly fearless old lady. Even when their leader, a grinning jack-o-lantern, tries to scare her with a big “Boo!” Saddened, they come to her door to ask just who they can scare. The old lady has an idea and whispers it to the pumpkin and his cohorts. The next morning she sees they have followed her suggestion. There is a Halloween scarecrow in her garden made from her spooky friends. This a charming and funny story that children delight in.
