A higher level beginning reader, The Witch who was Afraid of Witches was originally published in 1978, and re issued, with newer illustrations by Harper Collins in 1999 The book s appeal doesn t just stem from it s slightly scary and funny tale of a young witch who is afraid of her older, and meaner, witch sisters, but also for it s inclusion of chapters perfect for the kid who is always insisting on checking out a chapter book, instead of something from the little kid section Jane Manning s ill [...]

I was surprised when I looked this book up to see that there are different versions with different artists I like the art in my copy It s not particularly sophisticated but I like the idea of witches wearing pink bloomers under their rbes I would like to see other editions of this book at the library to see how having different art affects my perceptions of the book I guess the publishers must have felt that the art wasn t serving the story The story is about a witch who doesn t feel that she ca [...]

The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witchesby Jane ManningLevel 2 Book The book has good pictures ,and it is about 3 witches that don t get along All of them think they re better except Wendy She knew her sisters are better than her Will her sisters lose their powers This book has some rhyme in it This is a interesting book because it doesn t have a theme Most of the 6 and 5 year olds would like The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches.

I read this to my 6 year old and he loved it A cute story regarding a little Witch who was afraid of her sisters, and other witches She is bullied, and often pushed around by her siblings She finds out through her own experience, that she is a very smart Witch, who has genuine powers And, her sisters treat her better in the end.

A rather fun premise, but not as well done as I had hoped it would be Kinda like the book was trying to go in too many directions It ended up succeeding in one of the directions, but another was left hanging.

A cute beginning chapter book with pictures on every page, but text than the average picture book about a young witch who is afraid of other witches including her two older sisters This is an alternate version of a Cinderella story Cute but not particularly memorable.

Kids liked it We re revving up for Halloween and hit the bookstore today to pick up a couple and get ideas for books to look for at the library There was a fun looking ABC Dia de los Muertes books that I wanted to get but we ll hope the library has it.

I grew up with this book, and always loved it Not only is it full of witches and magic, but it is all about being yourself and finding your own way of doing things Plus, I always loved the illustrations in the book club edition.

The cover says this is an Advanced Reader 4 book However, I would say that it is a 3 at most The story line was a not that great but a good book to boost young reader confidence toward making the leap to chapter books.

This book was amanita

This is probably my most favourite Halloween story ever Since I was a little girl, having my grandma read this to me, I now read it to my classes for story time during the month of October.

I LOVED this book as a little girl I m pretty sure its one of the books that spurred my obsession with Halloween Witches and all things festive.

Recommended by J Cute story of a young witch making her own rules in life.

My 1 favorite book as a child My imaginary friend was Wendy from this book for years and years The edition illustrated by Karen Gundersheimer is the best, in my considered opinion.

My daughter Ella loves this book

Alternate title The Witch Whose Sisters Were Bitches Because, seriously They were not nice.

I loved this story, fun illustrations and a cute story make this a great read for Halloween time.

Darling, clever book about a youngest sibling who finally gains confidence in her witch s powersd also shows kindness to her mean, older witch sisters after first teaching them a lesson

This is a funny book and i loved it.

A bridge to reading chapter books A few short chapters Fun read.
