Summary: When the two older witch's children use their magic to create trouble in the park, the Little One knows how to fix the problem.

Strengths: The illustrations were good and detailed. The illustrations using a double page spread are essential and exemplify the action. With the use of words and pictures, it relates well to a child's point of view. Certain words are exemplified in BIG BOLD LETTERS that involve emphasis.

Concerns: The words are scattered all over the pages which can get a bit confusing as I was reading.

Age level: Primary (K-2)

Classroom Use: Teaches children to always ask their parents when they need help. It is also a good book to read right before Halloween to get the kids excited about the upcoming fun holiday!
