Seed can’t find a show-stopping costume for Hall

Seed can’t find a show-stopping costume for Halloween, so he decides to post-pone it… but that doesn’t turn out to be a good idea. Listen to Miss Nancy read “Bad Seed Presents: The Good, the Bad, and the Spooky” by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald.

What do YOU think Seed should do? Let us know on our Instagram page: rplyouthservices.

Thank you to the author and HarperCollins for allowing us to read this story with you today!
