Out of the darkness and into our doorway appeared the

ran out of candy, can I borrow some? A vile vampire,
a wicked werewolf, an extremely exotic X ray creature, a
yucky yetty, and a zany zombie. That's how she became
a scaredy cat. That's how she became just a very
very scared, scared, scaredy little kitty. Poor kitty, Poor poor kitty.
(13:05):
But then oops, I dropped my canie. That's when she
saw it. She saw apples, bubblegum, caney corn, dried fruit,
english toffee, fudge, gum drops, hard candy, Italian truffles, jellybeans,
kiwi fruit, lollipops, marshmallows, necklaces, oranges, pretzels, quins, candy, raisin, strawberry, licorice,
(13:31):
taffy and salted nuts, vanilla cookies, white chocolate, wax lips,
yellow bananas, and zoo animal crackers. Kitty decided there and
then that she would not be a scared little kitty anymore.
She decided she would be a bad kitty. But not
just any bad kitty.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
She would be.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
A very, very, very.

yanked the yetti and zing the zombie.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Hooray for Kitty.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
All by herself, Kitty managed to chase those horrible creatures
back out into the night. Kitty decided there and then
that she would never be a scaredy cat. Woof. Our
next book is called Tacky in the Haunted Igloo and
it was published by Houghton Mifflin Hardcore. It has a
(15:09):
copyright year of twenty fifteen and the author is Helen Leicester.
Halloween was coming to Nice icy Land, and this year
was special because the penguins had decided to turn their
iglue into a haunted igloo. Wouldn't that be fun? It's
scary for the trigger treater guests.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
For days.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Goodly and Lovely had decorated their home with cobwebs, pumpkins, skeletons,
warning signs in all things Halloween. Meanwhile, Angel, neatly and
perfect worked on the trees yummy gummy Swedish fish and
awful waffles and what to tacky the penguin do, snakey
tacky sample the treats by the dozen and pronounce them
(15:51):
be smacking good. When the morning of the big Halloween
night rode around, the penguins had a staff meeting. Who
was going to haunt the igloo? They were, of course,
and that meant that they had to choose very scary costumes.
I'm scared of insects, said Goody, so Goodly became an insect.
(16:12):
I'm afraid of the dark, admitted Lovely, so lovely. We're
a dark outfit with a big black mustache. The scariest
things I can think of are monsters, stammered Angel, who
had become a monster, and thunder and lightning or worse,
added Neatly in a stormy outfit. As for me, announced perfect,
(16:33):
I am afraid of bubbles, bubbles, bubbles. But Perfect was perfect,
so no one dared to ask any questions. Now the
companions turned to Taki, Taki, what are you afraid of?
Taki couldn't think of a single thing that frightened him nothing,
but cried his companions. You can't wear nothing. It's Halloween,
(16:55):
think Taki.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Think so.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Taki will off to a thinking place and thunk and
thunk and thunk. Lozy that evening, the first trick or
truers arrived at the haunted Igloo, shivering in julight at
the scary sounds like the bows of the insect in.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
The blub of a bubble.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Cobwebs surrounded the visitors and skeletons popped out of the walls.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh, it was so scary.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The trick or treers kept coming and coming and coming,
and when they had been scared silly, they all departed happily,
with shivering spines, feathers on end, and bags loaded with
Swedish fish and awful waffles.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That was the best.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Hanted igloo in the history of the world. But wait,
things were going too well. We're aware was tacky? Had
he forgotten it was Halloween? Knock knock, banguity knock. The
entire igloo clinked as it shook. Who should be banging
so loudly? Noise hurt their earplaces? With caution, goodly, lovely angel,
(18:05):
neatly and perfect creaked the door open, and there stood
three ghosts.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Three ghosts.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Two wasted no time in announcing we're trick or treating
ghosties and we ain't no two thief theories. So give
all your yummy treats or we'll do something scaries. Give
all your yummy treats. Now, that really was scary, And
the reason it really was scary was that there was
(18:31):
no yummy treats left thanks to the visitors, and especially
thanks to snakey tacking, not a Swedish fish scale or
an awful waffle crumble remain. Three ghosts searched tie and
low and sideways for signs of a treat nothing, and
after finding nothing, they whipped off their costumes gas. But
(18:54):
the hunters were back. We's not called hunters for nutting,
they grout, and with that they began and the chase
gonna catch some pretty penguins and will grab him by
the toe and we'll PLoP him in our treatsy bags. Haughty,
ho ho. All this commotion to stir Tacky's nap or
thinking must be part of time, he thought, as he
(19:17):
rushed to get ready. Bursting on the scene, he shouted,
is this a scary costume or what? His companions pointed
frantically to the big bullies in the doorway. Takied Wada
right up to the biggest hunter, gave him a friendly
flipper slap and exclaimed.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Well, how do he do? Bro bro bro?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
The hunter went from looking into looking slightly confused. Bro
like in brudder, he mumbled as he looked at taking
more closely. The big fellow began to get nervous. Him's
got them same bootsies yep, same pansy's shirty and suspender
rendered denders, same scary yup and looky him hat just
(20:02):
like mine.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Gotta be knee brudder. And then a worst.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Thought hit him right in the hitty bitty brain. But wait,
hym's just exactly like me. Him's meet twin, brudder. Then
me's a twin and so scary looking me scared of meself?
And if that, all three hunters dove their furry paws
over their eyes. So there the penguins were stuck with
(20:28):
three shaken and shivering hunters under the kitchen table. How
long would they stay there? A week, a month, forever?
The shivering would wobble the table, so the soup would spill,
and there would they put their weebies when they sat
down to eat. There were no treats left to coax
(20:48):
them out. Maybe, just maybe they could frighten them away,
so they tried their best or worst haunting noises went
the insect wubb lubb moaned the dark one e each creached,
screeched the monster boom bitty boom roared the thunder blooh
(21:09):
blah blub bubbled the bubble. The hunter stitt in budge
then Tacky chirped, Hey Bro, I'm coming home with you.
Well that did it up, popped Big Bro. As he
and his buddies fled the igloo, the hunter called, you's
not coming home with me, twinsy brother, you bes too scarzy.
(21:33):
He galloped away as fast as he could go, wondering
does me have a bee like me? Twin brother as
a sidekick's hissed.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You think you were scared?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We was seeing double two if you was twice as
scary back in the igloo, goody, lovely angel, neatly and

Speaker 1 (11:04):
She used to be woof an angry kitty, a brave kitty,
a clumsy kitty, a daring kitty, an energetic kitty, a
fearless kitty, a gallant kitty, a heroic chillie, and an
ebt kitty. A jumble kitty, a kittenish kitty, a loopy kitty,

a tough kitty, a upended kitty, a vixed kitty, a

terrible happened.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dean dall.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Out of the darkness and into our doorway appeared the
most horrible and frightening creatures Kitty had ever seen. Trick
or treat. She saw an awful alien, a bizarre bigfoot,
a creepy clown, a dreadful dragon, an evil ectoplasm, a
frightful frankenstein, a ghastly goblin, a hideous hag, an intimidating
(12:16):
invisible man, a jarring jack, O lanterer, a killer craken,
a loathsome lion, a monstrous mummy, a noisy nthandral, an
odious org, a putrid pirate, a quirky qasamoto, a rusty robot,
a scary skeleton, a toxic transula, uncle murray, Hey, I've
(12:43):
ran out of candy, can I borrow some? A vile vampire,
a wicked werewolf, an extremely exotic X ray creature, a
yucky yetty, and a zany zombie. That's how she became
a scaredy cat. That's how she became just a very
very scared, scared, scaredy little kitty. Poor kitty, Poor poor kitty.
(13:05):
But then oops, I dropped my canie. That's when she
saw it. She saw apples, bubblegum, caney corn, dried fruit,
english toffee, fudge, gum drops, hard candy, Italian truffles, jellybeans,
kiwi fruit, lollipops, marshmallows, necklaces, oranges, pretzels, quins, candy, raisin, strawberry, licorice,
(13:31):
taffy and salted nuts, vanilla cookies, white chocolate, wax lips,
yellow bananas, and zoo animal crackers. Kitty decided there and
then that she would not be a scared little kitty anymore.
She decided she would be a bad kitty. But not
just any bad kitty.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
She would be.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
A very, very, very.
Speaker 2 (13:52):

smashed the skeleton, tackle the tarantula, upset, Uncle Murray vanquished
the vampire, wiped the werewoof extinguished the x ray creature,
(14:42):
yanked the yetti and zing the zombie.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Hooray for Kitty.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
All by herself, Kitty managed to chase those horrible creatures
back out into the night. Kitty decided there and then
that she would never be a scaredy cat. Woof. Our
next book is called Tacky in the Haunted Igloo and
it was published by Houghton Mifflin Hardcore. It has a
(15:09):
copyright year of twenty fifteen and the author is Helen Leicester.
Halloween was coming to Nice icy Land, and this year
was special because the penguins had decided to turn their
iglue into a haunted igloo. Wouldn't that be fun? It's
scary for the trigger treater guests.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
For days.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Goodly and Lovely had decorated their home with cobwebs, pumpkins, skeletons,
warning signs in all things Halloween. Meanwhile, Angel, neatly and
perfect worked on the trees yummy gummy Swedish fish and
awful waffles and what to tacky the penguin do, snakey
tacky sample the treats by the dozen and pronounce them
(15:51):
be smacking good. When the morning of the big Halloween
night rode around, the penguins had a staff meeting. Who
was going to haunt the igloo? They were, of course,
and that meant that they had to choose very scary costumes.
I'm scared of insects, said Goody, so Goodly became an insect.
(16:12):
I'm afraid of the dark, admitted Lovely, so lovely. We're
a dark outfit with a big black mustache. The scariest
things I can think of are monsters, stammered Angel, who
had become a monster, and thunder and lightning or worse,
added Neatly in a stormy outfit. As for me, announced perfect,
(16:33):
I am afraid of bubbles, bubbles, bubbles. But Perfect was perfect,
so no one dared to ask any questions. Now the
companions turned to Taki, Taki, what are you afraid of?
Taki couldn't think of a single thing that frightened him nothing,
but cried his companions. You can't wear nothing. It's Halloween,
(16:55):
think Taki.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Think so.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Taki will off to a thinking place and thunk and
thunk and thunk. Lozy that evening, the first trick or
truers arrived at the haunted Igloo, shivering in julight at
the scary sounds like the bows of the insect in.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
The blub of a bubble.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Cobwebs surrounded the visitors and skeletons popped out of the walls.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh, it was so scary.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The trick or treers kept coming and coming and coming,
and when they had been scared silly, they all departed happily,
with shivering spines, feathers on end, and bags loaded with
Swedish fish and awful waffles.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
That was the best.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Hanted igloo in the history of the world. But wait,
things were going too well. We're aware was tacky? Had
he forgotten it was Halloween? Knock knock, banguity knock. The
entire igloo clinked as it shook. Who should be banging
so loudly? Noise hurt their earplaces? With caution, goodly, lovely angel,
(18:05):
neatly and perfect creaked the door open, and there stood
three ghosts.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Three ghosts.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Two wasted no time in announcing we're trick or treating
ghosties and we ain't no two thief theories. So give
all your yummy treats or we'll do something scaries. Give
all your yummy treats. Now, that really was scary, And
the reason it really was scary was that there was
(18:31):
no yummy treats left thanks to the visitors, and especially
thanks to snakey tacking, not a Swedish fish scale or
an awful waffle crumble remain. Three ghosts searched tie and
low and sideways for signs of a treat nothing, and
after finding nothing, they whipped off their costumes gas. But
(18:54):
the hunters were back. We's not called hunters for nutting,
they grout, and with that they began and the chase
gonna catch some pretty penguins and will grab him by
the toe and we'll PLoP him in our treatsy bags. Haughty,
ho ho. All this commotion to stir Tacky's nap or
thinking must be part of time, he thought, as he
(19:17):
rushed to get ready. Bursting on the scene, he shouted,
is this a scary costume or what? His companions pointed
frantically to the big bullies in the doorway. Takied Wada
right up to the biggest hunter, gave him a friendly
flipper slap and exclaimed.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Well, how do he do? Bro bro bro?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
The hunter went from looking into looking slightly confused. Bro
like in brudder, he mumbled as he looked at taking
more closely. The big fellow began to get nervous. Him's
got them same bootsies yep, same pansy's shirty and suspender
rendered denders, same scary yup and looky him hat just
(20:02):
like mine.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Gotta be knee brudder. And then a worst.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Thought hit him right in the hitty bitty brain. But wait,
hym's just exactly like me. Him's meet twin, brudder. Then
me's a twin and so scary looking me scared of meself?
And if that, all three hunters dove their furry paws
over their eyes. So there the penguins were stuck with
(20:28):
three shaken and shivering hunters under the kitchen table. How
long would they stay there? A week, a month, forever?
The shivering would wobble the table, so the soup would spill,
and there would they put their weebies when they sat
down to eat. There were no treats left to coax
(20:48):
them out. Maybe, just maybe they could frighten them away,
so they tried their best or worst haunting noises went
the insect wubb lubb moaned the dark one e each creached,
screeched the monster boom bitty boom roared the thunder blooh
(21:09):
blah blub bubbled the bubble. The hunter stitt in budge
then Tacky chirped, Hey Bro, I'm coming home with you.
Well that did it up, popped Big Bro. As he
and his buddies fled the igloo, the hunter called, you's
not coming home with me, twinsy brother, you bes too scarzy.
(21:33):
He galloped away as fast as he could go, wondering
does me have a bee like me? Twin brother as
a sidekick's hissed.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You think you were scared?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We was seeing double two if you was twice as
scary back in the igloo, goody, lovely angel, neatly and
perfect hug Tacky Tacky was an but a nice.
