Fun story, but it's the illustrations that really make it, stylishly rendered and chockful of detail.

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! ( )

Wilbur is a black cat that lives with Winnie the witch in a black house. But Wilbur is hard to see. He gets sat on and tripped over. Winnie uses her powers to change Wilbur’s colors. But will it work? To find out read the book. It was a fun read, and while it’s hard to articulate why, I think most readers will understand why this book isn’t super popular. It’s missing something….. ( )

Delightful, but nothing to chew on or savor, nor any reason to recommend to others. ( )

Winnie es una brujita simpática que junto a su gato Wilbur hará de tu lectura un momento más que mágico. ( )

The cover didn't speak to me, and we're not all that much "into" witches ...
We both loved it however. Winnie is a "nice witch", and the colorful spreads are awesome: bright, fun and full of quirky details. Glad to see there's a whole series of books on Winnie and Wilbur! ( )
