BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Little Witch left her broom behind at the lake and when she retrieved it, it was a little chewed and didn’t work right - in fact, she failed her broom driving test! In the middle of the night, Little Witch answers a plea for help, and in her generosity, she finds the solution to her perplexing broom problems.

Call this a Halloween-adjacent story with a cute moral. I can hear the other, disdainful, witches in my head and love that Little Witch’s kindness is not deterred by their scorn.
