Review

Another charming book. A classic tale full of magic and adventure with flying dustpans and silver bird pepper shakers that come alive once they are polished. Robin and Andy are sister and brother and go on this adventure together beginning with their encounter with a white cat and her owner, Zelda a witch who has flunked the test to be in a coven many times. Again, pencil art done in black that is distinctive and expressive. This was a great book and would make and excellent purchase for school and public library.

Overall Book Score: very good
