(4) K-3 Illustrated by Howard Fine. On her way to buy ingredients for Bunny Bread, Gritch the Witch's old broom sputters and dies. She heads to Foxy's, where the abrasive witch meets her match in a slick salesfox. More dependent on wordplay than plot, the story loses focus as the witch and the fox engage in a lengthy, homophonous "Who's on First?" routine. Lively illustrations match the frenetic romp in this sequel to Piggie Pie.
