Bookroo's summary

When a witch's cat stumbles upon an old cookbook, he decides to surprise his witch with a magical meal. But his cooking skills are as unpredictable as his spells. As he mixes potions and ingredients, chaos ensues. Will his culinary adventure end in disaster or delight? Discover the whimsical mishaps and enchanting surprises that unfold in this charming tale of magic and mischief.

From the publisher

“One day, a witch’s cat found a dusty old cookbook, and it gave him the most marvellous idea…” The witch has gone out and inspired by the old cookbook, the cat is determined to knock up a super-scrumptious surprise lunch for her. But unfortunately, his enthusiasm far exceeds his cooking abilities, and he carelessly overlooks some rather important information. But hey, what’s the worst that could happen? Reviews: “A fabulously charming story with beautiful illustrations. I have a feeling we’ll be reading this one again (and again, and again…)” Fran Grant”This is a super book - it’s got everything! Magic, potions, a lovely witch, and of course a cheeky cat - and with such beautiful illustrations, it’s one that my little ones ask for over and over.” Rebecca C”I love this book because it is really funny and made me laugh out loud. I woke up the next day and made a play with my sister, I was the witch and she was the cat. I like how the cat ends up reading her own book about spells, she is a clever cat!”. Words from my daughter who was captured by this delightful storybook that has clearly made an impact! Highly recommended read! Kirstie Watson is a gifted author and the illustrations are adorable.” Mrs Sumudu Edirisinghe”We love the Witch’s Cat - my nearly 3yr old granddaughter asks for it almost every day and knows what’s going to happen on every page - she still laughs at each bit though!! This is a really well written and beautifully illustrated story which I thoroughly recommend.” Kindle Customer
