Description Druscilla's Halloween (Carolrhoda Picture Books) Poor Druscilla. Her sore, ancient knees are so creaky and loud that she can't sneak up on anyone to play witchy tricks on Halloween. She and her faithful cat, Drizzle, try to find a way for her to sneak quietly - riding her donkey, enchanting her wheelbarrow, making wings - yet all fail miserably. But when she picks up a broom to sweep up the scattered feathers, she has an idea that just might work! This charming Halloween picture book finally solves the mystery of why witches fly on broomsticks. From the Inside Flap Did witches always ride brooms? No! In fact, long, long ago, witches crept about on tiptoe. On Halloween, they would scare children and cast spells...but always from the ground. No witch ever thought of flying -- no witch until Druscilla. Druscilla was an old witch with the loudest, creakiest knees anyone had ever heard. But she was determined not to let anything spoil her element of surprise. One Halloween, after many failed attempts at sneaking up on unsuspecting villagers, Druscilla made a discovery that changed the course of witch history. About the Author About the Author. Sally M.
