Published in 1975, How the Witch Got Alf is a book I initially tracked down because of my "witchy witches" project, in which I examine picture-books and early readers with witchy content. As it turns out, it is neither a story about a witch—the old couple imagine a witch has kidnapped Alf, but no actual witch appears in the story—nor is it a picture-book. Rather, it is an illustrated short story, one in which the text predominates. Although there are no chapters here, I have placed the book on my "chapter books" shelf, as it is midway between a leveled early reader and a full-length children's novel. The story itself is sweet, and younger children are likely to sympathize wholeheartedly with Alf, who just wants to feel that he too is appreciated. The black and white illustrations from Steven Kellogg, who is perhaps better known for his picture-books, are appealing, ably capturing Alf's various emotions. Recommended to young readers who enjoy animal stories, and to anyone looking for children's books featuring donkeys as characters. ( )
