a halloween story

Some background: This picture comes from a set of picture books my grandma had called "My Book House".  I recently found a set of these books in a local used book store! Back to Halloween...

This picture always spooked me. I'm not afraid of Native Americans, but ghost Indians...yipe! The story is "Tippity Witchit's Hallowe'en", about a little black kitten on Halloween night, but trust me, it's not a very good story. Look at the pictures and make up a better one.

I don't know about you, but sinisterly cavorting agriculture freaks me out. And another creepy one:

But it all turns out okay in the end.

Tippity Witchit's Halloween "not a very good story?"

Are you kidding?

This story was my number one request as a three- and four-year old. Then again, that was in 1968-1969, pre-Robert Munsch and happy-happy, all-sunlight children's stories.

But "not very good..." Really, that I don't buy.

I would like to have a copy of Tippity Witchit's halloween to read to my grand daughter. Can anyone email it to me?
