Dorrie and the Weather Box Written and illustrated by Patricia Coombs First published January 1, 1966 by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard 48 Pages, Hardcover Dorrie finds a picnic basket and wants to have a picnic, but it’s raining. She decides to try to fix the weather by using the Big Witch’s secret magic room. Unable to find a recipe for melting clouds, Dorrie mixes to recipes together and hopes for the best. Instead of fixing the weather, Dorrie creates a colorful storm inside the house. One day Dorrie, the little witch, wanted to have a picnic, but it was raining. "I guess I'll have to fix the weather," she told her cat, Gink. And up she climbed, high into the tower, to the secret room where her mother, the Big Witch, made magic. It was dark and spooky up there with bats flying all around. Dorrie shut the door tight and began to mix a magic potion. (She couldn't find a recipe for fixing weather in the Big Witch's Book of Magic, but she mixed two others together and hoped they would work.) "Abracadabra blinkety-blue," Dorrie chanted as she stirred. Suddenly there was a loud crash of thunder. Then pink lightning zig-zagged all over the room, the wind whistled and blew and dark clouds began to gather. "Oh, oh!" said Dorrie, "something is going wrong." It certainly was. Outside the sun was shining, but inside the rain was pouring down. Dorrie had fixed the weather--and the Big Witch got home just in time!Dorrie and the Weather Box Written and illustrated by Patricia Coombs First published January 1, 1966 by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard 48 Pages, Hardcover Dorrie finds a picnic basket and wants to have a picnic, but it’s raining.

Moonlight: The Halloween Cat Written by Cynthia Rylant Illustrated by Melissa Sweet Published August 19, 2003 by HarperCollins 32 Pages, Hardcover Ages 4-8 Softly padding through the darkness, Moonlight explores the world on her favorite night, Halloween. The town and countryside glow with shining stars. The wide yellow moon lights pumpkins, racoons, and children out having fun. . . . Told in eloquently simple, lyrical words, with dazzling, luminous paintings, Moonlight evokes not just the excitement of Halloween, but something more -- the reassuring warmth and friendliness that is a special part of this special night.
