Sharleen Collicott.
Barrett poses a set of rhyming questions about each refreshingly quirky illustration. "Which witch is learning to stitch? Is it the one wearing socks? Is it the one eating lox? Is it the one looking in a box? Or is it the one with chicken pox?" The complicated compositions, featuring a variety of animals wearing witchy outfits, reward observant readers with plenty of creepy, humorous details.
