A note from the author:

Even before I learned to read, I remember my mother and father reading to me and my older brother, and one of my favorite rhymes was “Over in the Meadow” which begins:

Over in the meadow,
In the sand, in the sun,
Lived an old mother-road
And her little toadie one.
“Wink,” said the mother;
“I wink,” said the one;
So she winked and she blinked
In the sand, in the sun.

The rhythm and rhyme of those early stories and verses my parents read became a part of me. So it was only natural that many years later I would write a spooky twist on those classic verses. I was very lucky to have Jane Manning illustrate; her fine work is both whimsical and endearing. Here’s an excerpt from Little Goblins Ten:

Over in the forest
By the graveyard gate
Lived a bony father skeleton
And his little skellies eight
“Rattle!” said the father;
“We rattle,” said the eight.
So they rattled and they ran
By the graveyard gate.

I had so much fun writing this book! I hope you have fun reading it many times over.
