Children's Literature Review: Little Witch is much too nice to be a witch. Her mother likes it when she complains, and when she is bad. Little Witch desperately wants to go to school just like the other kids. Her mother finally relents, extracting a promise that Little Witch will misbehave and won't make friends. At school, Little Witch cleans up the room with a magic spell and otherwise charms the teacher and students. All is well, because her mother praises her for disobeying her command to be bad. Readers who are old enough to get the joke, or who enjoy being contrary themselves, will enjoy Little Witch. Reviewed by Dr. Judy Rowen.
