Tricky Witches

Tricky Witches

Written and illustrated by Yvonne Arber. Step inside the world of one very tricky witch. She wears a tall, pointy hat, swoops about on her broomstick, and lives in a crooked little house filled with all sorts of tempting things. From sticky buns to jam tarts, from cupcakes to jellies, the witch knows how to make her home look cosy and inviting. But don't be fooled. Behind the warm glow of her windows and the delicious smells drifting from her cooking pot lies a witch who is clever, cunning, and ready to cause trouble. Told in playful rhyme and rhythm, Tricky Witches captures the timeless fascination children have with witches-part scary, part funny, and always full of surprises. The story follows a single witch as she invites children into her world, weaving spells and tricks, and reminding us that things are not always what they seem.

The book is beautifully illustrated by Yvonne Arber, whose original hand-drawn artwork fills every page with atmosphere and character. Her lively pen and ink style brings the witch's crooked hat, swirling cloak, and mischievous grin to life. Each illustration is carefully detailed yet full of movement and humour, giving young readers something new to spot each time they open the book. Perfect for reading aloud, this tale combines rhythmical verse with enchanting pictures, creating a shared reading experience that will delight children and adults alike. It is an ideal choice for children who enjoy magical stories, witches, cats, and just a touch of mischief. Tricky Witches is more than a story about a witch; it is a playful exploration of temptation, trickery, and imagination, told with warmth and wit. A perfect addition to any child's bookshelf, it is a story to be read, re-read, and treasured.
