Review
Book Trailers 4 Kids and YA ~ “Judi Billcliff has taken traditional rhymes and given them a makeover; a scary makeover.The blurb on the back of this picture book asks if you are brave enough to look inside and meet the scary creatures and there are plenty of them. You just might need to be brave! There are witches, goblins, and ghosts too. Even Count Dracula makes an appearance in these reimagined rhymes with a twist of scariness and lots of laughter.
Scary Mary
Scary Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With wailing moans
And rattling bones
All hanging in a row.
“You’ll have to read the book to find out what else she has in her garden!
“Deborah Hinde, as always, provides gorgeous illustrations; cheeky, funny, quirky, but also with a warmth which leaves us feeling safe after our journey into the spookiness of scary tales. This is a great book to use when thinking about Halloween, too.”

From NZ Booklovers ~ “Classic nursery rhymes get a spooky makeover with this new book. Miss Muffet is now a sassy witch, Humpty Dumpty is a little Frankenstein, and Mary’s little lamb is now a ghost.
“These kooky, spooky rhymes will delight children and adults alike and are complimented by gorgeous illustrations.”
