Reviews
I love this rhyming story about this sweet witch and the friends she makes. I think the illustrations are fun and like that it shows little snapshots of the story as it goes along. This book is especially great for Halloween, but I think it's one that could be read throughout the year. :)
This might seem like a Halloween book but its message is a good one year round. The rhyming text is consistent and clever and the colorful and humorous illustrations are sure to delight. The generous witch earns some loyalty from her new-found friends who return the favor in an unexpected way leading to a clever turn of events at the end. It is long for young listeners, but worth the time if they have the attention span for a longer read.
