Spanish and English words and phrases fill this alphabet book. Worlds you might know, such as L is for latkes, but also words that maybe do not translate right away for your English speaker, such as J is for Hanukkah. It is clever, interesting, and filled with wonderment. Melanie Romero took it all and had fun, while being educational. Colorful illustrations tie it together. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

This book is about a young witch (with a not so pointy hat) who is lonely and wants a friend. When she decides to create a spell that will bring her a friend, that is when things get interesting. Now some ingredients are easy to find, like earwax of lizard, but there is one ingredient that is not only not available in her home, but it also sounds dangerous! It is the fur of a one-eyed-teddy bear! Can she do this challenge? Diverse characters and a beloved bear will capture your imagination and heart. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Boo Stew is probably not a dish you wish served cold, hot or at all! Curly Locks might have a good heart, and a passion for cooking, but her ingredients are a bit, unique, to say the least. The townsfolk of Toadsuck Swamp know that you do not even have a nibble of a creation by Curly Locks. Yet, one day one of her dishes goes missing from her windowsill and the town is being bullied by Scares (who Curly Locks has never paid too much mind to). Are the two related? And can Curly Locks batwing brownies or toad eye toffees be the trick? Or is she going to have to be a bit more creative to scare away big, bad scary Scares that holler, “Gitchey Boo, Gitchey Bon! Gitchey Goo, Gitchey Gone!”? This diverse take on the Goldilocks story is sweet and funny with cuddly, spooky and adorable illustrations. Not just for Halloween. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
