1965, Abingdon Press
(3) K-3 This warm-hearted, conversational story profiles a little witch who looks the part--black pointy hat, black pointy shoes, black cat, red pointy nose, etc.--but can't get her magic to work. Friendly ink drawings in black, red, and yellow show the witch finally admitting defeat and taking off her witchy attire (including a mask) to reveal herself as a little girl playing dress-up.
