The Clever Little Witch by Lieve Baeten
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A nice back-to-school book, The Clever Little Witch may also be a nice book to share with younger siblings who have been told “You are too young for school.” As the little witch tries and tries to unlock a mysterious suitcase, Baeton and Fossey’s illustrations are fun to pour over, looking for everything “opened” (even a flower bloomed!). Although the text is not as strong as the illustrations, in my opinion this is not always a bad thing for a book aimed at such young readers. The illustrations are themselves eminently readable so, adults, take your time with the child at your side and enjoy this delightful little tale.
