This wonderful story used to be my go-to Halloween story when I was doing story times in the public library.  It was so fun to introduce the children to the witch with her big hat, her striped stockings, her broom and cat.  The black cauldron and all the things that she chose to put into her spells...that never worked..created that air of suspense.

This is a fabulous story with a great build-up and then an unexpected twist that calms the most anxious parent and delights the younger listeners.

This little witch is so excited and is ready to cast her spells to send her traveling far and wide.  Trouble is no matter how hard she tries, none of her spells send her anywhere. She's never ever able to transform her cat into anything spectacular either.  It's as though she just isn't cut out for the witch business.  And maybe she's not.....
