KNOCK! KNOCK! 
by Jan Wahl. “This happened in Scotland a long time ago…” Well of all the places for this bizarre story to take place… A late night knock at the door disturbs a young witch named Ella La Grimble, who is busy spinning her wheel. Strange things, parts really, start to arrive one by one after each knock. She doesn’t seem too alarmed by this strange event; she is more yearning for company than anything else. When all the “parts” arrive, will she get her wish? Or is there something more frightening to be the outcome? Illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma, this is a suspenseful, amusing story to thrill young pre-school readers. See this book listed in our catalog
