Review

It is Little Witch's birthday. She is sad because she does not have any cards, presents, or visitors. She decides to conjure up a spell to have a party. All kinds of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters come to visit and cram the house full of people. Little Witch gets tired of the crowd and the noise, so she uses another spell to end the party. She did not like the quiet either, so conjures up another spell to bring them back. This book is busy with lots and lots going on on most pages. Children will enjoy searching for the many storybook characters as they hear about them in the story. Teachers could do a writing take off on this, creating a spell to overcome something they would like to change.

Overall Book Score: good
