A Very Brave Witch

Customer Reviews

Great for little girls

And what a brave witch she is! This offers a cute perspective on just what the witchy folk think of regular humans--those terrifying beings without green skin. Fortunately, our little heroine is able to make a friend. It's a very cute book that once again for McGhee shows lots of extra fun in its illustrations.

Just a great, great book for kids

I bought 10 of them and gave them to all the nieces and nephews for the Holidays. The story is cute, the illustrations are amazing. Bliss packs a lot of funny goodies into the backgrounds for parents as well. Its a real fun read, and the kids loved it cause there is so much there to find during multiple readings. Buy one or 10, you won't be disapointed.
