Trick-Or-Treat, Smell my Feet! by Lisa Desimini

I thought this book was really funny. A spell that made all the children say, "smell my feet" instead of, "trick or treat", goes horribly wrong and the witches end up turning into babies. I thought it was a very fun story. I also liked the illustrations, they look like they had been made from construction paper.
