About the author
Rose Impey
317 books17 followersROSE IMPEY was born, and grew up, in Northwich, Cheshire. When she first left school she worked in a bank, but soon realised that this was not for her; so she decided to go back to school and then went on to college, where she trained to be a teacher. She later taught in a Junior school in Leicester.
Rose has two grown-up daughters. While her children were small, Rose developed her interest in children's books through reviewing, bookselling, storytelling and giving talks to parents and teachers.
The Impey family have a dog called Holly, which has also become a star. In 1988 Rose was short-listed for the Smarties Children's Book Prize for 'Desperate for a Dog'. Most of her stories are based on her own experiences either as a teacher or a parent. As a family they like jokes, and this often provides Rose with the ideas for her books.
She spends a lot of time visiting schools to read her work. Her books are widely published worldwide, including the United States, Australia, France, Denmark, Germany and Spain. Rose enjoys eating, talking, swimming and reading, although not necessarily in that order!

Titchy-Witch and the Wobbly Fang (original British edition)
Titchy-witch grows impatient when her wobbly fang won't fall out in this witchy early reader, and then her mother tells her that the Fang Fairy will give her a surprise once it does. Deciding she simply must take action, and reasoning that multiple surprises are better than one, our witchy little heroine uses a spell to make all of her fangs fall out, leading to trouble with family guardian Cat-a-Bogus. Will that irate feline put an end to Titchy-witch's mischief...?
The seventh installment of British author/illustrator team Rose Impey and Katharine McEwen's twelve-volume early reader series chronicling the misadventures of the eponymous little witch, Titchy-Witch and the Wobbly Fang pairs an engaging tale of magic and mischief with fun illustrations that capture the humor of the story. As I have mentioned in my reviews of previous entries in the series, although I am reading these books for the witchy content—witchy picture books and early readers being a pet project of mine—and although I enjoy the witch characters in Titchy-witch's family, the much-put-upon Cat-a-Bogus is my favorite character by far. Recommended to fans of this series, and to beginning readers who enjoy stories about witches.

Wanda Witch and the Wobbly Fang (American edition)
Originally published in the UK as Titchy Witch and the Wobbly Fang , this witchy beginning reader was republished in the states by Scholastic, as a Level 3 title in their Scholastic Reader system, indicating the presence of larger "chunks" of text (as opposed to shorter sentences). Like other titles about this eponymous little magic maker, it highlights a common childhood experience—namely, losing a tooth and leaving it out for the Tooth Fairy—but recasts it in fantastic terms...
Of the twelve volumes in the Titchy-Witch series, four have been published here in the US, with the young witch heroine's name changed from Titchy-Witch to Wanda Witch. Wanda Witch and the Wobbly Fang is the fourth and final one of these titles, and like the three earlier US editions, I read it side-by-side with the original to compare and contrast. Unlike Wanda Witch and the Bullies , which contained some significant differences, but very much like Wanda Witch and Too Many Frogs and Wanda Witch and the Stray Dragon , there were few differences between the British and American editions here, other than Wanda's name and the use of "mom" rather than "mum." The only other change, that I could detect, was the use of a "new dollar coin" as a reward from the Fang Fairy in the US edition, rather than a "shiny silver slovrin." This change struck me as regrettable, as it removes just a smidgeon of magic that was present in the original, from the US edition. After all, the original didn't speak of British pounds, which would have made the change to US dollars understandable. Rather, it used an in-world magic currency, making the story that little bit more fun. Leaving this critique aside, I'm glad to have read both editions, just to see what was or was not changed. This was a fun little witchy cream puff of a story, and is recommended to beginning readers who enjoy such fare, or who have read earlier books in the series.

My six year old was able to read most of this book by himself. He has a loose tooth right now and really liked this story with a witchy twist. Ages 5 and up.

Good book for independent reading. My 6 yo enjoyed the story and could relate to the character. Will be buying more of the series.

This is a cute book for kids in elementary school. The child likes to wear costumes, and the adults join in. The child ends up learning from the adult characters.

Miss 7 chose this. She enjoyed reading it with Titchy's attempts to get her wobbly tooth out (ranging from tying string to magicking all her teeth out which made it a bit hard to eat toast).
Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
