(2) PS When young witch Mitzi, who likes creepy things, decides to get a pet, only the creepiest will do. A slimy toad and a pair of bats are all boring, and she's about to give up on the idea when a cute kitten scratches at her back door. "Ugh," says Mitzi. But the kitten is wonderful company. Having found just the pet for her, Mitzi forgives the kitten for being adorable. This satisfying story is illustrated with effective, humorous line drawings.
