The Orange Ghost! - The Storyboard, 1989. Illustrated by DP Designs
The story of an orange ghost on Halloween night who cannot fly yet. For a ghost to be able to fly, he must scare someone and the poor orange ghost has never been able to scare anyone. So, he attempts to scare a witch, a black cat, and an owl - all of who tell him to go away and scare someone else. He finally comes to a pond and decides to scare a fish - he yells "Boo!" at the water and sees his reflection, thus scaring himself and gaining the ability to fly for scaring someone!



We have a range of these felt board stories that were doanted to our library from the Keflavik Library in Iceland. I wish I knew more about the company who put these out because they are really cute and very helpful during storytime!





Craft:
Easy Pumpkin Craft!

 We took a standard pumpkin coloring sheet and traced a template for two eyes, a nose, and a mouth on the bottom of the page for the kids to cut out. Super easy! Here is the template we created for this craft.

How Many Did You Have?

How did it go?

We managed to get in 5 books and 1 felt board - I'd say we were pretty successful.
