Love this

Glad to find my childhood book that my siblings n I all took out at our elementary school library when it was there! We all loved it Didnt think I b able to find this particular kids book again! Still love this book and so will my soon to be lil one cant wait

Good book for Grandma's house

My daughter brought this home from school and it has so many cute and quick to read stories that I had to get it for Grandma & Grandpa trips. The stories are fairly short and the authors are all family favorites. This is perfect for bedtime.

The funny story in a big book

I think this book was very fun but the story that I read was all but the one I am going to talk about is Little Witch's Big Night by Deborah Hautzig. Little Witch's Big Night was my favorite in all of the stories because it was sad how little whitch was left behide because she did all her chores which a witch sould not do but still she had a very fun night with the devil, the pirate, and the astrnouat. They went in a night flight which I found very fun but they had to take turns but I could see that they were patiente.My opinion is that kids could take it a try and read this very good book when they have time and it was a very good book!
