This book was very clever, how children can let their imagination create all these scenarios. I read this to my niece and she thought the illustrations were so funny, specially the up close of the witches nose. It also is a subtle message for kids to not judge anyone!

I really loved the art in the book! The story was also very cute and my nephew loved the buildup to see what the witch would do.

I absolutely loved this. It was short and sweet with amazing illustrations and a perfect rhyme.

This one really took me back to children's books when I was small and I can see it becoming a quick classic for years to come.

The story was charming and wholesome in ways many books aren't today and even as an adult this is going to become a yearly autumnal read that I will recommend to everyone.

I would give 6 starts if I could.

The artwork here is really gorgeous. The verse is really enjoyable to (read especially aloud!) and it really captures the comic whimsy feel of the novel. While at times the meter is slightly off which I feel is a little distracting and there are times when the rhyme feels a little forced to the point where it blurs meaning (particularly the would she turn dread line) but for the most part the meter and rhyme are beautifully compulsive and would be a wonder to read to children. I really think it could work so well in school settings because it so latches onto that gorgeous gift of young imagination. I can really imagine children engaging with it in a creative writing context e.g. both inspirations and writing responses. But for me what I loved most was the lulling sound of it all read aloud!!!

A delightful and thoughtful approach to the lesson of not judging by appearances or on first impressions! A group of children (and a parade of cats) learn that first look doesn't mean accuracy. Cheerfully illustrated and rhyming to encourage comprehension and recall.

This was such a cute little story with great little verses. I think its the perfect time if year for this. Kids will get a kick out of it.

I read this book to my little neice and she loved it! Beautifully illustrated and cute story that teaches you that you shouldn't judge someone because of how they look.

Fun picture and rhyme book for young children. The artwork is eye catching. The rhyming and words are easy to follow. The story is an opportunity to enjoy a good book with a child. But also the opportunity to chat about how appearances can be deceptive, and that we should be kind and not judge people in-necessarily. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC.
