The Littlest Witch (a Littlest Book)

Product Information

She sits so silently that a host of spiders spin their webs around her onto which her tears fall like jewels. Now that he is his normal self, Brainy takes the opportunity to scold Brenda, saying that evil spells and Smurfs don't mix. I'm so happy I gave it a chance, because not only did I find it superior (from a story-telling perspective) to the other two, but I also rediscovered a long-forgotten favorite from my youth! If I’d read it for the first time as an adult, I’d probably have given it only 4 stars, but I’m rating it for my 7 year old self and I do believe it was worth 5 stars at the time.

Soon, Miss Snarly dismisses her students, but she has Brenda stay after class to tell her how disappointed she is in that she's turning out to be a bad witch. Papa Smurf then has Scaredy climb a tree to get a fresh acorn, which he bravely does with Brenda watching and Smurfette telling her Papa Smurf's trying to teach Scaredy something for his own good. Papa Smurf sends the Smurfs to gather witch hazel, which is the name of two different characters voiced by June Foray, who in this series happens to voice Jokey. On top of this, the picture-book is unnecessarily long and too wordy — takes away half of the magic.

Having said this, there are many things for young minds to enjoy about The Littlest Witch and what with it being Halloween why not treat your children to a fab little book – with many a laugh out loud moment and some gross moments too…because who doesn’t love a bit of grossness.

it now sits on my shelf as a reminder of my first grade teacher who cared enough to push me where others did not.

After reading and enjoying two of Adrienne Adams' witchy Halloween tales - A Woggle of Witches and A Halloween Happening - despite finding the narrative of the second a little weak, I was curious to see what I would make of this, a witchy title illustrated by Adams, but written by someone else. The unrefined free-hand pencil drawings that are more prevalent in pre-1980's children's books are wonderful to visit .
