With Echidna
dressed as Dracula, Koala as Frankenstein’s monster and Kangaroo as a zombie,
the party was sure to be a success.
As a team, the
animals set to work making a witches brew, dips with pretend flies, cutting out
paper ghosts and bats to ensure a thoroughly scary party.
David Cornish’s
brilliant illustrations are the perfect complement to this rhyming tale.
It
gives an Australian flavour to a usually American holiday and will be a hit in
the lead up to Halloween. The party game and craft ideas enjoyed by the animals
could also be replicated easily, should families or even a class decide to hold
their own Halloween party.
