There's a story quite funny, About a toy bunny, And the wonderful things she can do; Every bright Easter morning, Without warning, She colors eggs, red, green, or blue. Some she covers with spots, Some with quaint little dots, And some with strange mixed colors, too Red and green, blue and yellow, But each unlike his fellow Are eggs of every hue. And it's odd, as folks say, That on no other day In all of the whole year through, Does this wonderful bunny, So busy and funny, Color eggs of every hue.

my back.
My claws are sharp.
I might attack!

My hat is black,
My face is green,
My laugh is mean.
I ride a broom
On Halloween.
Who am I?

Like to stay
Just out of sight.
If you see me,
I might be white.
I float through houses
In the black of night...

I fly at night,
I hunt by sound,
I live in a cave,
And sleep upside down.
People are scared,
They shouldn’t be.
I eat mice and bugs.
Please, don’t hurt me

My door is gone.
My windows cracked.
Ghosts float through walls
And then float back.
You hear strange noises:
Bam, bang, and whack!

HALLOWEEN RIDDLES

I grew on a vine,
Right on the ground.
I have a big smile,
My face is round
