## About this book

In this "catchy, lilting cumulative tale with glorious comical/scary illustrations" (Kirkus Reviews), a little girl's toe taps a tune as her legs dangle from a footbridge that has all sorts of creatures hidden underneath. There are cats and witches, bats and ghosts. With lots of repetition, a rhythmic, bouncy text, and imaginative illustrations, this Halloween title is sure to tickle your bones -- your funny bones, that is! And for the first time in over a decade, this Halloween gem is back in print.
