Granny Wendy struggles to learn her spells in this entertaining and interactive early reader. Informed by the Head Wizard and Head Witch that she must master four spells by the following day or give up her effort to become a witch, Wendy is distraught. Fortunately, she has her grandchildren Lily and George to help her, not to mention the Great Wise Wizard...

Part of the "Usborne Young Puzzle Adventures" series, released by the British publisher Usborne, Wendy the Witch pairs an engagingly magical tale from author Karen Dolby with fun, cartoon-style artwork from illustrator Brenda Haw. Each two-page spread has some important object hidden on it, and the text on each spread concludes with a challenge to the reader to find it. An answer key is provided at the rear of the book. I'm not sure I would have ever picked this one up, were it not for my interest in witchy picture-books and early readers, but I'm glad I did. This entire series will appeal to beginning readers who like puzzles and search-and-find type books, and it is to them I would recommend it.
