Description: "Betty can't wait to be a first-grade witch. But on the first day of school, her classmates start calling her 'Itty Bitty' because she's small and still uses her kinder-broom. Betty doesn't like the nickname--or how it makes her feel itty-bitty inside. So she comes up with a BIG idea to prove herself: winning the Halloween Dash"--Provided by publisher.
Brief description:
When Trisha Speed Shaskan was a child, Halloween meant bobbing for apples, daring to touch brains (which may have been noodles), and--best of all--wearing costumes. She still loves dressing up for Halloween. Trisha is the author of more than forty children's books, including Punk Skunks and the Q & Ray series, both illustrated by her husband, Stephen Shaskan. Trisha lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with Stephen; their cat, Eartha; and their dog, Beatrix. Learn more at www.trishaspeedshaskan.com.
