Story Time: Frightfully Fun Halloween (28/10/2012)
Do you fancy some frightful fun this Halloween?
In a rickety old house, spooky sounds fill the air.
Crashing and slamming;
Snarling and hissing;
Creaking and mumbling.
Who… or what… is making them?
Sounds Spooky? Are you scared?
Abracadabra! When Winnie-the-Witch starts waving her wand around she can change Wilbur, her long-suffering cat, to green, turn her broomstick into a bicycle, and even magic winter into summer. So what is she going to be up to this Halloween?
Find out more about the spooky happenings in Sounds Spooky and our favourite Halloween witch, Winnie from Mrs. Jan Mann.
Please come in your Halloween costumes!

He has written many books, a musical and an animation. He has been a judge of New South Wales Premier’s literary Awards and he won the 2009 prestigious Lady Cutler Award. (www.chrischeng.com)
