About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to spark a child's sense of cleverness and humor, or when they need to see that wits can win over brute force. It is a fantastic choice for a high-energy bedtime or a rainy afternoon where laughter is the best medicine. Gritch the Witch is on a mission to bake a Piggie Pie, but she finds herself outsmarted at every turn by the very farm animals she intends to eat. The story explores themes of creative problem solving and resilience through a lens of slapstick comedy and wordplay. While the premise involves a hungry witch, the tone is purely theatrical and silly, making it safe for children who might otherwise find witches scary. It is an excellent tool for building vocabulary and demonstrating how perspective and clever disguises can change a situation. Parents will appreciate the rhythmic prose and the chance to use their best 'grumpy witch' voice.
