Illustrated by
Joe Berger.
The narrator's granny is "kind of different" with her cats, frogs, bats, and spells to make things disappear. When her granddaughter suggests a makeover to become "normal-ish," Granny agrees--but the next day she's dreadfully sad. Granddaughter quickly realizes that individuality is a good thing. Playful, snazzy illustrations full of clever witchy details elaborate on the jaunty rhymes.
