With a rhyming text that reads well, a fun Halloween story of a misfit witch finding her way, and bright, colorful illustrations, The Not-So-Witchy Witch would make an excellent read-aloud selection for a witchy or Halloween-themed story-time. There are plenty of stories about little witches who are too nice for their witch communities—Deborah Hautzig's Little Witch's Big Night, for instance, features a young witch who isn't allowed out on Halloween night because she has been too good—but Anne Rock Munger's story takes a slightly different approach. Her witchy heroine is a little too cute to pass muster, but when finally allowed to partake in witchy activities, is more than happy to give the Evil Eye and scare the ghosts. I liked the fact that Willow Green, renamed Witchy Willow Green by her coven leader Hazel Rub at the end of the book, looks a little too sweet, but is more than willing to cause some mayhem. Of course, the domestic setting and familial love that are depicted in story and artwork still provide reassurance for young child readers, even if these witches like to spook the spooks. The accompanying illustrations from Janetta Lewis add to the reader's enjoyment, with a vibrant color palette that catches the eye, and some humorous details—I particularly liked the "training brushes" on Willow Green's starter broom—that are a lot of fun. Recommended to beginning readers who enjoy witchy fare.… (más)
