Witch Baby and Me on Stage (#4)
Author(s): Debi Gliori
It's a rainy spring-time, coming up to Witch Baby Daisy's second birthday. Her nursery class are putting on a musical performance, helped by the older children, including big sister Lily. Meanwhile Mum is trying to potty train Daisy, unaware that as soon as she succeeds, Daisy will be reclaimed by the witches who live on the hill, who've only been waiting for their little protegee to be out of nappies before they take her 'home'. Happily, Daisy is so rubbish at toilet training that Lily persuades Mum to drop the idea, and the day is saved! The concert is a great success, despite Daisy turning Lily's bagpipes into a spider, and the witches are distracted by spells for romance. This is another charming, brilliantly plotted and gorgeously illustrated gem of a book by this outstandingly talented author/illustrator.
Product Information
Another enchanting illustrated story about Lily, who is the only person who knows that her baby sister is a witch!
"The pictures are dazzling in their elegant daffiness...it reads aloud gloriously, but it will also be easily digested by daring chapter-book readers with its small page size and clear layout."--Kirkus Reviews
