it wasn't a blackbird,but a witch!
26 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
prince bertram was a bad kid ever since he was a baby. one day he sat in the tower shooying bids witha sling-shot.then he saw a "long nosed black bird" and hit it too. but it wasn't a black bird at all, it was a witch! she turned him into a dragon! i can't tell you all of it so you'll have to read it your self!
Don't throw stones if you're not up on your birds...

This is a great old children's picture book from 1963.
I received it as a child in 1964, and read it over and over,
pouring over the illustrations. There's a simple moral to it,
and the illustrations are reminiscent of early Sendak.
Arnold Lobel is the author and illustrator, and does a terrific
job at both.
The basic moral is don't be mean as it could come back to bite you,
but if you do good, even the bad can be forgiven.
I just reread this. There's a pivotal part where the bad prince beans a witch with a stone and is turned into a little dragon--shunned, he runs away, into the woods with a basket of ginger snaps (makes sense). There he meets a variety of wild animals:
lions, porcupines and other beasts. They roar at him and eat his ginger snaps.
It's a gentle tale with a happy ending.

There are only two reviews before mine for this book. How can this be? This is one of the best kid's books ever written. Perfect story arc of a naughty, naughty boy who messes with the wrong character, a witch! The boy is put under a spell and so shall you be (lucky reader) enchanted by this light and funny tale. Please, take two...and you'll feel better, I promise.
