This book is sheer perfection. It has many of the same qualities as Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner -- young children who live out tremendous adventures in their imagination with characters who are typically treated by the author as though they are also real, though every once in a while perspective...

Hmm. I checked and this book was first published in 2008, but it feels like one of those touchy feely books that was so popular 40 years prior to that.
I loved the illustrations. They make this a beautiful book. Even the slightly unusual shape of the book makes it a stunner.
I think I was...

I had only vague but happy memories of reading this book as a little girl, remembering the slightly incompetent witch who rode a vacuum cleaner instead of a broom and her talking black cat who helped a little girl with her homework. Rereading this as an adult was a pleasure, though the story is certainly...

This was a favorite of mine as a child and I'm enjoying rereading it for the umpteenth time. There is something extraordinarily charming about believing in magic as a child. It's like believing in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy and that your parents are the bravest, strongest, most perfect people on...

Sweet little old-fashioned chapter book about a family who takes in a little lost witch. Yes, at times it slips toward the saccharine, and the story is definitely dated. But for the most part, this is just a nice story about the power of love.
Some readers seem to take issue with how Felina is changed,...

When fall comes, and the apples are ready for picking, the...

It is true, many children do seem to enjoy the stab of pathos incumbent on finding dead a creature that has no personal weight for them. Kudos to Brown for recognizing that and treating it realistically, I guess? I'm not sure what the point of this story was. Unless you are a kid who has been accused...
