One Witch
Written by Laura Leuck
Illustrated by S.D. Schindler
Walker and Company, 2003
ISBN: 0-8027-8860-2
One Witch is a counting book. The witch in question has an empty cauldron and sets off to fill it, receiving gruesome contributions from a variety of spooky friends - two cats, three scarecrows, and so on (all the way up to ten). She then sends off invitations to everyone who’s helped her (thus counting back down from ten again) combines the myriad gross and random ingredients into a stew, and everybody gets to enjoy a bowl.
A spooky counting book that won’t let you down!

My Monster Mama Loves Me So
Written by Laura Leuck
Illustrated by Mark Buehner
HarperCollins, 1999
ISBN: 0-688-16866-3
How does a little monster know his mama loves him? There are the obvious things, like bug cookies and hairy hugs, of course. And coming to all his ‘beastball’ games. Or singing monster lullabies to help him sleep.
Leuck has come up with a whole book full of monstrous versions of things moms do for their little ones, and it’s every bit as adorable as you might be thinking, with great illustrations by Mark Buehner. The short rhyming book takes you through a day in the life of a little monster, detailing all the ways his monster mama loves him and the things she does for him.
