My grandson loved them and spent time looking at each page and talking about it. This witch is writing in her diary about how she wishes her life were different. She wishes she could get rid of the black clothes, stop riding a broom, find a man etc. One page has a diary post, the page beside illustrates what she is thinking and writing about, it is quite humourous. The flow is a bit stilted, perhaps because it is translated, but that did not bother my grandson at all. The reason I am only giving this book 3 stars is because it does not seem finished. My grandson kept asking me to turn the page and I told him there was no more. He got quite upset and even though he enjoyed what we did read, he was upset by the ending. If there was something added to make the story seem finished, I know it would easily be a 5 star read for us. The publisher, Chouette Publishing - CrackBoom! Books generously provided me a copy of this book to read. I really hope this is only a partial book, because if this is the full thing, it sucks. The story ends with no warning, which is why I think it’s a sample galley. I can not decide if this is an adult parody book, or a kids picture book. I need an ending to tell me. It goes against what most books try to preach about pretty is on the inside, and be yourself. Once again, i need the ending to form a full picture. Until I get one, this is not a great review, but that’s because the 17 pages I have read so far, are not great. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Do all witches like to scare children, eat toad eyes and ride their brooms when the moon is full? Certainly not all! Peek under the pages of this personal diary and discover the secret thoughts of a witch who dreams of a little change in her life: to dare to wear pink, buy a swimsuit and go on vacation, and maybe just once be part of a fairy tale that ends well!"Dear Diary,I'm writing to tell you I'm weary.I've been a wicked witch for too many years,and it's making me teary."Sprinkled with references to classic fairy tales, the Dear Diary series offers privileged access to the secret aspirations of mythical and often not-so-nice characters. Short rhythmic texts reveal the private and very funny musings of an ogre, a monster, a witch and a fairy. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Originally published in Spanish as Diario de una bruja, this fun little witchy confection is one of four such fairy-tale diaries from co-authors Valeria Dávila and Mónica López and illustrator Laura Aguerrebehere - the other three are Diary of a Fairy, Diary of a Monster and Diary of an Ogre - to be translated into English by David Warriner for the Montreal-based publisher, CrackBoom! Books. Although the rhyming text in Diary of a Witch is sometimes a little awkward, and the ending here feels a little abrupt, the narrative itself is entertaining, and the artwork delightfully humorous. Readers who enjoy witchy picture-books - a perennial pet project of mine - will find much here to enjoy, and it is to them, as well as to those interested in Argentine children's books, that I would recommend it.
