Illustrated by
Cyd Moore.
A duel between two young witches gets out of hand when all of the world's colors get mixed up. This story has a lot to recommend it--even the "bad" witch Greta is a likable character--although the text is wordy and may be too sweet for some. For a tale about color, Moore's illustrations could be more vibrant; still, they effectively capture the witches' exploits and the havoc wreaked on the landscape.
