A rollicking romp of a tale by Whitbread Children's Book Award-winner, Judy Allen. "I've cast thousands of spells," said the witch to her cat. "I've flown twice around the world, and my battery's flat. I wonder what kind of place would be best. It's been a long day. I need a good rest." Join the long-suffering cat Matt and his witch on their search for the best bed in the world. A riotous, rhythmic tale that's great fun for reading aloud!

Highly recommended, school libraries should add THE BURNING to their collection and explore other titles by this gifted author. -- Beth Ashworth, Teacher Librarian, Fiction Focus THE BURNING 'The writing is tense and the complex plotting assured, which adds up to an exciting, imaginative tale ...' -- BOOKS FOR KEEPS LORD OF THE DANCE: 'This is a fascinating book which will not remain long on the shelves but should certainly be available for young teenage readers.' -- The School Librarian THE SPRING ON THE MOUNTAIN: 'Elemental is exactly the word to describe its strange plot. ... Spellbinding.' -- Manchester Evening News Allen's rhyming text is lively and fun with many lovely turns of phrase. Philip Giordano's bold and graphic illustrations are amusing... -- Child Education Filled with bright, bold and somewhat intense illustrations which fill the page and the eye with a sense of immediacy... enhanced by the flowing rhyme scheme and repetition of ideas.
