When rain threatens a Halloween parade a young witch switches the rain to cats and dogs, only to realize that causes drama too. She attempts new rhymes and each causes a new problem. Each attempt makes it a parade to never forget.

Adorable. Though I'm not sure why the Hats and Clogs survived, while Bats and Frogs, or Cats and Dogs, didn't?

A fun Halloween book. The illustrations and rhymes are entertaining. It would make a good storytime book since it is silly and not even a little scary.

Charming! This books is so whimsical. Our little witch friend loves parades. The yearly parade is in danger of being cancelled due to rain. Being a witch Delia has the power to change that so she utters a spell to make it pour cats and dogs instead. At first it is thrilling and then it is a mess. I like the part of raining hats and clogs. Who doesn't want shoes raining from the sky? A witch says "Snack time girls!" while it's raining bats and frogs. That mad me giggle.
Well, after all that mess, when Delia has it simple rain, people feel a little rain never hurt anyone and they begin to march the parade. I love the scarecrows float.
I gave this 5 stars for pure joy and whimsy.
The kids thought it was a fun book. I read it to them separately, so the nephew gave it 5 stars while the niece gave it 4. I would like this book for my personal Halloween collection I might have someday.

I loved the illustrations in this book! And it was pretty darn cute. It's a good Halloween read and definitely shares a positive perspective. I enjoyed this book.

Fun wordplay, great illustrations, simple (in a good way) story. A reference to women "never owning enough shoes" that I will probably omit or downplay if I use it for a story time.
