A nervous witch overcomes her fear in this endearing picture-book from English author Layn Marlow, and French illustrator Joëlle Dreidemy, coming through in a pinch, when it really matters.

I love the illustrations, but the text didn't pass muster. This is a typical "fluff" book. I did do some background vocabulary work with the kindergarten and learning center students I used this book with. We discussed the meaning of the word "twitch," made some predicitons during the story and checked to see if we predicted correctly, and talked about what to do when someone hurts your feelings, or if you hurt someone else's feelings.

A witch is afraid of spiders and owls and stuff but proves her mettle when her cat is in trouble. Cute rhyming story that's good Halloween fodder for kids who haven't made it to the scary story stage.
Hazel was not a fan.
