Cyclops Witch and the Heebie Jeebies by Kyle Sullivan

Cyclops Witch is only afraid of one thing: KIDS! And guess who comes tromping up to her front door? That's right, KIDS! Desperate to escape their wild and mean natures, their tickling, rough-housing, pinching and biting, she sends them on a wild goose chase through Hazy Dell. But what happens at the end of that chase isn't exactly what Cyclops Witch expected.

A very cute tale for those who love spooky stories. I really enjoyed this tale, especially the imaginative creatures that live in Hazy Dell. The illustrations are reminiscent of a Cartoon Network show and pop off the page with cute, round life. The story is cute, though not every rhyming line scans perfectly, making it a potentially difficult read aloud, and it runs a little long. In spite of this, many children will be looking forward to the adventures of Cyclops Witch. 

Thanks to Hazy Dell Press and Consortium for my galley.
