Twitchy Witchy Itch by Priscilla Tey - ADVISABLE

Twitchy Witchy Itch
by Priscilla Tey
PICTURE BOOK Candlewick Press, 2021 $18 9780763689810 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When Itch the Witch invites her friends over for tea, she is so worried that everything won't be perfect that she sweeps and dusts and sweeps some more, making sure her house is messy enough for her friends, then casts a spell just to make sure her itching and twitching (worrying) will go away. But then, when Fidget the Witch and Glitch the Witch arrive, their powers start to make things slip and slide around in Itch's house, so she casts another spell which has unintended consequences. 

The visual images in this book are so well done - Glitch the Witch makes things turn into pixels and Fidget's powers distort the colors. Told in lyrical verse, this will make a super fun Halloween read aloud.
