Format:Paperback
Many parents and children will be familiar with Winnie the Witch and her cat Wilbur from the picture books by Valerie Thomas.
Laura Owen has teamed up with Korky Paul who illustrated the original picture books to provide short chapter books about the zany witch designed for the newly confident reader.
There are four short stories in this book, each complete in itself and at just the right length for a young reader to feel a real sense of achievement when they've read to the end.
The Korky Paul illustrations are the link between the original pictures books and these early readers. Here the illustrations are in black and white but they lose none of their original energy and humour. Even the page numbers are in the form of individual illustrations.
The stories will stand several readings and the illustrations are bound to be favourites, with more details to be found on each reading. The lack of complexity in the stories does mean that they're unlikely to remain in favour much beyond the age of about seven so I would buy for the younger child.

This is a very, very, good book. I liked the fact that is written in 'chapters' instead of a picture book. I read most of it myself but mummy read some of it to me as well. My favourite story was 'Whizz-bang Winnie' when she and Wilbur win the race. Mummy's favourite was 'Hot Cross Winnie' because she liked it when the little girls took Wilbur and put hair clips in his fur. I am going to read 'Mini Winnie' next. Tom, age 6.

Just a quick point for those familiar with Winnie the Witch picture books for small ones. This isn't one! Maybe I wasn't paying attention (likely), but I bought this and others for my 4 yr old who loves Winnie. This is actually part of a set for older children (my 8 yr old was delighted) and is A5 size, aimed at tehm reading to themselves.

Winnie, but a little more grown up.
I didnt realise before I bought this book that it is for a slightly older child. No nice glossy pictures, and I found the stories tend to go on a bit, I`m always trying to cut... Read more
