Halloween had me thinking about when I was younger and actually led me to remember these books I loved when I was little. They really have nothing to do with Halloween other than being about a little girl who was a witch. I don’t know how old I was when I read them, but each summer, the library would have reading contests and I read every book our library had about Dorrie and her little black cat. It took me a while to find the books online…I couldn’t remember much about them. But, when I saw her picture with her crooked little hat, I knew I had found her (isn’t she cute?). They were funny little books and I am very surprised my mom let me check them out. I really wish I could get my hands on them now. I am sure the library got rid of them a long time ago and they are a little pricey on ebay. Fond memories. I hope my kids like to read as much as I did/do.

Looks familiar, but I can’t say I ever read them.

I used to LOVE these books too..they were always my first choice when I would go to the library and I would always walk out with a stack of like 10 children’s books. The only other thing I remember about them is that she was a really clumsy witch and always made mistakes!

Have you tried Amazon or Half.com? As long as you keep reading to your kids, I think they’ll learn to love it. Both of mine ALWAYS want to read and if it’s just Leah and I at home, she’ll sit down with a book and make up a story as she sees fit while I do housework or something.

Hmm I don’t think I ever read those, but I wish I had, they look really cute! Did anyone have the Bernstein Bears books? The Halloween ones really stick out in my head. I read those over and over. I heard Ethan went in someones house when he was trick-or-treating and didn’t want to leave. Hilarious. Only he would do that.

A lot of them are out of print and so pricey…didn’t check half.com though-I will have to look.
Ethan is an avid book reader-like, sometimes it is too many books. Tegan, well, she hasn’t been read to as much as Ethan. I am trying, but she would rather eat the books at this point.
Ethan did go into someone’s house, but it was because they weren’t quick enough with the candy. The leaving part wasn’t then though-he was more than happy to get out of their house. It was in general, after the people would give him candy. He would just kind of linger, like, “is that all or is there something else we are supposed to do here.”
