A Very Brave Witch

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-689-86730-1 $12.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Bliss. After explaining that witches are actually afraid of humans, a young witch goes in for a closer look. She falls off her broom trying to "trick a tree" and bumps into some Halloween-goers before befriending a girl costumed as a witch. The story is on the slight side, but the watercolor illustrations include playful details, such as a tombstone that reads "Frank N. Stein."
