Synopsis

Zara, Ziggy and Zoe are three little witches who live in the magic wood. Join them in their magical world, where signposts give directions out loud, calendars sing, cookbooks have minds of their own, and party inviations fly out on wings. Together with their friends Wizard Wink, Baby Dragon, and the Troll children, these funny little witches do their best to stay out of trouble. This charming storybook collection contains eight funny stories filled with magic spells, rhymes, and recipes--all beautifully illustrated by popular British artist Emily Bolam.

About this title

About the Author:

Georgie Adams lives in Cornwall with her artist husband. She spent many years working as an editor of children's books before she became a writer of books for the very young.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2-A calendar flips its pages as the weeks go by, letters sprout wings and fly to their destinations, and a school building gets up and changes its location at whim. These are just a few of the "special effects" in these eight short stories. Zara, Ziggy, and Zoe live together in Magic Wood with their pets-a frog, a cat, and an owl. In the first story, the three young witches decide to give a Halloween party so they send invitations to their classmates, including mean Melissa. The ensuing adventures follow the girls as they ready their home for the festivities and reveal their daily activities, until the last story, "Party Night." Animals, books, and furniture can talk and the correct magic words will make a room clean itself. Interspersed throughout the stories are the clever RSVP replies, which take on various formats and arrive in unexpected ways. Watercolor pictures splash the pages with bright images of the girls and their friends, who include wizards, trolls, and a dragon. The lively action and varied typefaces are visually stimulating and will hold the interest of new readers.
