Bookroo's summary

On Halloween, five monsters concoct a special stew, each adding a unique ingredient. But when curious Little Moe spills the pot, their feast is lost. Hungry and upset, Moe's night takes a turn with a mysterious knock at the door, promising an unexpected Halloween surprise. What could this visitor bring to their spooky celebration?

From the publisher

It’s Halloween and five monsters are brewing a savory Halloween stew. Each monster adds something special to the mixture – a juicy frog, a bat, a hairy spider. But when the littlest monster gets too curious and tips over the pot, the stew runs away! Little Moe is inconsolable (and very hungry!) until a knock on the door brings an unexpected guest – and a big Halloween surprise. With rollicking rhyme and glowing watercolors, Pamela Jane and Vera Rosenberry serve up a tasty holiday treat for readers of all ages.
