Wizzil, a bored witch, transforms into a fly to cause mischief at Frimp farm. But DeWitt Frimp despises flies, and Wizzil barely escapes his swatter. Undeterred, she morphs into a glove, which DeWitt unwittingly wears, losing his swatting prowess. As Wizzil's prank unfolds, chaos ensues, leading to unexpected lessons for both. Will DeWitt discover the truth behind his mysterious glove, or will Wizzil's trickery prevail? Dive into this whimsical tale of magic, mischief, and surprising twists.
An exciting collaboration Wizzil, a witch, is bored stiff. So, with some coaxing from Beatrice, her parrot, she turns herself into a common housefly and heads over to Frimp farm to stir up trouble. Little does she know, DeWitt Frimp absolutely hates all breeds of fly, especially Musca domestica, and Wizzil narrowly escapes a life-threatening swatting. Wasting no time at all, she cooks up a nasty plan to teach DeWitt a lesson: she turns herself into a glove, which DeWitt finds and proudly wears, but which also deprives him of the ability to aim his flyswatter. Steig’s playful storytelling voice is in full gear in his latest tale, and Quentin Blakes hilarious, antic pictures are a perfect match for the text.
