Read Because: more spooky picture books, hardback borrowed from the Timberland Regional Library
Review: On the eve of her flying test, one little witch still has problems with her broom. I can't fault the aesthetics: there sure is a witch, the soft, prismatic color palettes are gorgeous, and there's even a map in the endpapers. But the narrative doesn't do much. "Not like other witches" gets more development than the bond between witch and her eventual familiar, and that's not what I'm here for.
