Winnie the Witch
by Valerie Thomas
Winnie's house is black and so is her cat, so she keeps sitting on him. Her attempts to fix the problem with magic make things considerably worse.
A story about witches and wizards and animals, funny and silly in tone. We would put it with children of 4–7, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged
We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Winnie and Wilbur series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
