 Rating:  - A marriage of two greats: Steig and BlakeI am so in love with William Steig's books that I was a little bit startled to see that Quentin Blake had illustrated "Wizzil"--but since I adore Blake also, that was only a momentary setback. "Wizzil" is an unusual witch tale in that the witch ends up not only changing for the better, but having a pretty darned good life for herself once someone takes a moment to show her some kindness.

I have had this book for under a week and already it is a big leisure reading favorite with my fifth graders who are rapidly acquiring the English language. Browse for similar items by category:
