The second witchy early-reader from Troll Associates that I have read today, following upon Sharon Gordon's Three Little Witches, The Boo-Hoo Witch was created using a vocabulary of fifty words, and is part of the Giant First Start Reader collection, intended to help beginning readers develop their skills.

Recommended to beginning readers who enjoy witchy fare.
