Perfectly designed for the developing reader. June 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
