📖 Excerpt from the Book

"I can wobble like a jack-o'-lantern--

I can hobble-wobble by!

I can point like a wizard--

with my wand up to the sky!

I can stomp like a monster with my furry, furry feet!

I can shake like a skeleton--and never miss a beat!

I can shimmy like a spider, who can scurry up a tree.

I can walk like a Frankenstein--as stiff as can be!

I can stir like a witch, cooking bubbly, bubbly brew.

I can float like a ghost, and like a ghost I can...BOO!"
