Before there was Cranberryport (I love these books) there was the Old witch books. There are 3 in all. I find I love these too. I love the whimsy and mood that Wende brings to her stories. The publisher wraps sentences across a page turn or page to page and this is a pet peeve of mine. I hate this practice in children’s...

"The bright, galloping illustrations are as effective as any Tomi Ungerer has done. This has some of the sting of Dr Strangelove but tenderized, the contemporary charisma of Where the Wild Things Are; it's great! Exceptionally highly recommended."

This is about a girl who...
