About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by mistakes or when you want to introduce the spooky season with humor rather than scares. It is a perfect choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to experiment with cause and effect, offering a gentle reminder that things rarely go exactly as planned, but the results can be quite funny. Meg the witch and her cat Mog go about their morning routine before heading to a Halloween party with Meg's witch friends. When they attempt to cast a spell together, it backfires in a spectacular, silly way. The bold, high-contrast illustrations and simple text make it an ideal choice for building confidence in early readers and keeping the attention of very young listeners. It celebrates the joy of friendship and the lighthearted side of magic without any genuine peril.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical in its approach to magic. There are no heavy themes. The transformation is temporary in spirit and played for laughs rather than fear.
