The Witch Next Door and Other Stories

This book has delightful text and illustrations as well as important messages such as tolerance, kindness, and not judging others by their appearance. I'm a Kindergarten teacher and my students LOVED the stories in this book!! --Cherie Lane

Duh, Wicca is legitamate.

What a pleasure to have a charming, funny, positive witch as a main character. My son loves this book. I'm happy to read it to him again & again because of the underlying lessons of acceptance and celebration. Thank You Mr. Bridwell! Blessed Be!

Open minded, down to earth people will love this book :)

This book is a wonderful book for children. It encourages children to be open minded, loving and accepting of all people and all religions. There are a few stuffy individuals out there who wouldn't approve of their children loving all people, even those of Pagan traditions, but then, what would Jesus do? :)

A Must read for all ages

As a practicing and public Witch, I give many copies of this book away each year in an effort to dispell negative steroypes about my people and about my religion. I suggest the parents read it to themselves first, and internalize the message. Then read it to the kids for a lot of fun.
