5-8 Infant/Junior
Children just love witches ad magic and Amanda is all too lovable. However, her good nature almost backfires when she grants a toad three wishes and turns him into a witch and then herself into a toad. The newly created witch is much less kind with his magical powers but all ends happily as it should, in best fairy tale tradition. An engaging, easy-to-read story with action-filled illustrations which work almost as an animated cartoon.
