Heather Ross.
Young witch Grimelda delights in her cluttered home until it prevents her from preparing a new recipe: "Where'd I put that pickle root?" She embarks on a not-so-witchy project--cleaning her house--and the hunt for the pickle root is both endearing and amusing. Playful, singsong rhymes will hold readers' attention, while bright, cartoonlike digital illustrations emphasize Grimelda's haphazard life.
