There's a caterpillar hidden on every page. A fun game for kids to look for it.
Oh good, it's almost time for bed, I better start my nightly routine.
First I need to put all my toads away, there should be seventeen.
Next I'll clean out my big pot, I'll need it again tomorrow for that new spell.
With all this slime and goo, it really has a wonderful smell.
Practice, practice, practice, that's what momma witch always says. 
So next is I'll practice my aim.  Watch these little bunnies turn into anything I name.
Flying's important too, so I have to work hard every night before bed.  
One day I might have to flee an angry mob, that's what my mommy said.
Finally it's time to go inside, that sure was a long day.
We're not allowed brooms in our house, so I'll put mine away.
Next I take off my dirty shoes, and hang up my pointed hat.
I know, I know you're hungry, that's Midnight, he's my cat.
Here you go Midnight, I made your favorite, worms and spider legs.
He'll only eat them if they're fresh, and likes me to sprinkle them with fly eggs.
Now it's time for me to eat, and look my mommy made my favorite, eyeball stew.
I like to close my eyes and guess what creature they come from, before I start to chew.
Can't forget my homework, better write down all the spells I learned today.
It's important to have them all memorized, so I know just what to say.
Bath time is important, I love taking a long soak in this bubbling slime.
I could stay in here for hours, but it's almost bedtime.
Then I brush my teeth with slop, so they stay nice and green.
I really don't like when little bug legs, get stuck in between.
Yaaay..looks like I got a new wart today, it's going to be a big one too.
They say the more warts the prettier the witch, and I think it's very true.
What pajamas should I wear tonight, it's just so hard for me to pick.
Oh no I think I hear my mommy coming, I better get them on really quick.
I still need to clean my room, I can't let her see this big mess.
"Hocus Pocus AbraKazam, clean my room with great success!"
Better put my wand away now, I'm not supposed to bring it to bed.
I have to keep it safe, so I lock it up in this enchanted chest instead.
Just a quick glance in my crystal ball, I never know what it's going to show me.
Look!  My favorite.  Syrup covered centipedes for breakfast is what I see.
Finally mommies here to read me my favorite story, this is always the best part.
My mommy is the most powerful witch around, and I love her with all my heart.
You know she can do magic without even using her wand, like turn on my sleeping light.  She just flicks her fingers and instantly a star appears, burning throughout the night.
Goodnight witch," she'll say, as she pulls the covers up and gives me a kiss.
"It's time for you to sleep now, which you'll do when you hear this,"
"Hush my little witch, for the day is finally done.
A deep slumber you'll now enter, as your sleep has just begun."
