Time for Hooves & Feathers Halloween Party! Derrick Duck is trying to jump to get as much candy as he can while Sylvia Sheep hits the Moose Pinata. Carol Calf waits her turn. Meanwhile Polly Pig & Ralph Rooster guard the refreshments table. #inkandwatercolor #picturebookauthor #picturebookartist

It's time for the annual Hooves & Feathers Halloween Party! Everyone's in costume and having a great time this evening! Derrick Duck (the Werewolf) is trying to jump up and get as much candy as he can while Sylvia Sheep (the Witch) crushes the Moose Pinata. Carol Calf (the Mummy) anxiously waits her turn. Meanwhile Polly Pig (the Ghost) and Ralph Rooster (the Zombie) "guard the refreshments table (which also has a 'Bat-Apple' centerpiece). They are all having so much fun, I wonder if any of them have spotted the secret relic hidden in the tree?

Prompt count: 19

Rosie, Sara, & Hare-crow continued, off to see the wizard. A clearing in the woods revealed a strange statue. It was a Tin Squirrel! How odd! Must have been chopping down these trees to get easier access to the nuts high above. 😂 #inkandwatercolor #kidlt #picturebookauthor #picturebookartist

Rosie, Sara, and Hare-crow continued down the yellow brick road, off to see the wizard and fulfill their dream of unlimited tacos. A clearing in the woods revealed a strange statue. It was a Tin Squirrel! How odd! The Tin Squirrel must have been chopping down these trees to get easier access to the nuts high above. 😂

Rosie & Sara continue their journey through Oz in search of the mysterious Wizard who can grant wishes (Rosie is debating wishing to go home or getting a lifetime supply of tacos). Suddenly they come across a HAREcrow in a corn field.
