Customer Reviews

Magic Market

Very fun read for kids old enough to sit and enjoy about a 10 minute read. The story is excellent, and not scary at all so it stays fun. Lots of dynamics, trying doing a kind act leads to an encounter with with a witch's market, the book is worth it just to see what's on the shelves. The suspense of waiting to see how long the dog will behave with all the cats around, and lastly the clean get-a-way...lots of opportunity to interact with your "readees" while you page through the book. I found the kids loved to look for new things in the book all by themselves.

Great Book

This is a great book, great story with great pictures. My daughter who is 2.5 years old loves it very much. The names for the produce and candy in the witches supermarket are great and very creative. Highly reccomended.

Excellent. Very fun and imaginative even for adults.

I love the grocery store items. Each time I read it to my children I find something "new" added to the shelf. Actually I'm the one that begs to read this book.

Wonderful book -- highly recommended.

My son loves this book. I have been reading it to him since he was about 1 year old (he is 2 1/2 now). We read it over and over and pick out all the little surprises in the artwork. He even "helps" me read it. We are on our second copy!!

Mom, can we get some eyeballs?

This book has always been a favorite of mine. I would recommend it to any school-aged child as well as preschoolers. The whole concept of a supermarket for witches is thrilling. The products in the store are hilarious and the ending is great.
