Witch

This is a witch's house. A drew it for his big cousin {A}. See the witch on her broomstick. And there's lollies beside her house.

We just received a book; a story about a boy who flies on a dragon, and they rescue the baby dragon from a witch by tricking her. She flies around and around on her broom stick, and then gets turned into a toad. {The Great Dragon Rescue}.
We haven't read or told many stories about witches, especially not the sort who lure children in with sweets on their house. Except perhaps the beautiful drawings in Alison Jay's stories.
Another witch book we like is Winnie the Witch.
