Book review - Babies and Toddlers, early childhood (0-6 years)

Sharratt, Nick. (2005). Muddlewitch Does Magic Tricks. London, Great Britain: Egmont



Muddlewitch is a young witch who uses her magic to do tricks. What does she do? She magicks everything from the chair, to the cat and even the gold fish. Remember that delicious bowl of green apples – well, what colour do you think the apples and bowl will be when Muddlewitch is finished with them?Full of beautiful colours and texture, this pull-the-tab book has been known to entrance many audiences. This is an all time favourite with the preschool groups attending story time at the library. The interaction with the children is absolutely magical. They love to guess what colour the character is going to magick everything. You’ll have them screaming their guesses at you. The pull-the-tab portion of the book also offers delightful contact for the children to reveal what colour she changed the object to. Bright, beautiful, interactive, this book is a must for babies, toddlers and children beginning primary school. You’ll have your audience entranced from when you open the book right through to the end. This book is so popular with parents and teachers, you just might have to go out there and buy your own.
