THE
WORST WITCH BY JILL MURPHY
An
hilarious children’s classic and a perfect read for little girls
always getting into trouble without meaning to! Many children will
empathise with Mildred, a disastrous trainee witch who keeps messing
up with hilarious results. My favourite was when she put a bucket of
water on her teachers head! The colourful characters and beautiful
illustrations in this special hard back edition bring Mildreds
story to life and paves the way for when they start reading Harry
Potter.
