Rumblewick Diary #4
My Unwilling Witch Gets Cooking
Witty Rumblewick the cat is back, writing about even more hilarious hijinx with his unwilling witch in Book 4 of the series. Rumblewick is Haggy Aggy's right-hand cat, contractually bound to shape her into the best witch she can be. The problem? Haggy is willfully unwilling, and she much prefers nail polish to broomsticks. Now Haggy says black is out and pink is in. What sort of witch wears PINK? As if that weren't enough, she's on her way to get a makeover to jumpstart her modeling career-and on Fright Night, no less With hand-written text of varying sizes, doodles, and comical black-and-white illustrations throughout, it's easy to believe you're really reading a diary.

In Kürze/In (Very) Short:
+ Tagebuch des Hexenkaters Rumblewick über seine Zeit mit der Hexe Sissi
+ lustig, unterhaltsam, kurzweilig mit einem leicht sarkastischen Erzählstil
+ wunderschön illustriert
+ diary of Rumblewick the cat of witch Haggy Aggy
+ funny and entertaining; slightly sarcastic
+ beautifully illustrated
Meinung/ My Opinion:
Die Tagebücher des Rumblewick Zauberspeck sind sehr schöne Kinderbücher und werden aus der Sicht von Hexenkater Rumblewick erzählt. Wie der Titel schon sagt, werden die Geschichten in Form von Tagebucheinträgen erzählt.
Beide Bücher sind wunderbar illustriert und handeln von der Hexe Sissi, die lieber Zeit in der Menschenwelt verbringt und sich wie ein Mensch benimmt anstatt wie eine richtige Hexe. Das bringt Kater Rumble in eine schwierige Position, da er doch Sissi bei hexenmäßigen Dingen unterstützen soll.
Aber die will ja nicht und genau da liegt Rumblewick's Problem, denn nicht hexenhaftes Verhalten ist strafbar und er kann sein Diplom verlieren.
Die Abenteuer von Sissi und Rumble werden in einem leicht sarkastischen Ton aus der Perspektive der Katze erzählt, dass ich öfter schmunzeln musste.
The Diaries of Rumblewick are wonderful children's books and are told by Rumblewick himself in form of a diary.
Both books are beautifully illustrated. The witch Haggy Aggy likes to spend time in the human world and her dearest wish is to be more human. That is where the trouble for the cat Rumblewick begins as he is Haggy Aggy's assistant and should assist her in witchy things.
But the little witch is stubborn and her behavior could cost Rumble his precious diploma.
The lightly sarcastic tone of the story and of Rumble made me smile throughout the book. I think that is the reason why I actually enjoyed both so much.
Fazit/Bottom Line:
Eine bezaubernde, schöne Geschichte mit vielen Illustrationen und einem lustigen, leicht sarkastischen Erzählstil von Rumble.
A great story with beautiful illustrations and a slightly sarcastic narrator.

2.5 stars. Again, read in Dutch. This was at times fun, but oh so predictable. It is just the same thing over and over again. Witch doesn't want to do witchy stuff, cat goes in nervous breakdown mode, cat does stuff and voilà, things are fixed. :\
