Book description
It's a rainy spring-time, coming up to Witch Baby Daisy's second
birthday. Her nursery class are putting on a musical performance,
helped by the older children, including big sister Lily.
Meanwhile Mum is trying to potty train Daisy, unaware that as soon
as she succeeds, Daisy will be reclaimed by the witches who live on
the hill, who've only been waiting for their little protegee to be out
of nappies before they take her 'home'. Happily, Daisy is so rubbish
at toilet training that Lily persuades Mum to drop the idea, and the
day is saved!
The concert is a great success, despite Daisy turning Lily's
bagpipes into a spider, and the witches are distracted by spells for romance.
Another charming, brilliantly plotted and gorgeously illustrated gem
of a book by this outstandingly talented author/illustrator.
