Here is the story of a little witch named Blanche who is constantly getting into trouble because of her youth and carefree attitude. She belongs to an order of responsible, adult witches, and is only a member because of her ability to turn her blue nose on and off! The Tale begins on the eve of Halloween Night, where the witches have big plans to perform a flight formation late that night. Afraid of being late, Blanche sets her alarm clock extra-early, and, ends up flying out much, much too early for the coven meeting. She meets up with children her own age who teach the young witch how to have fun trick-or-treating on Halloween Night! Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

At a brief forty-eight pages, The Blue-Nosed Witch is a little bit short to be considered a novel, and although I have added my 'chapter-book' tag, which I use to designate shorter works of children's fiction, generally one hundred pages or less, it does not technically have chapters. Although not long enough to be a novel, it is definitely too long and text-heavy to be considered an early reader, and while it may not have chapters, it is suitable reading for the beginning chapter-book audience, ages seven to nine. Leaving aside the issue of categorization, the book offers a cute, vintage Halloween story, one with plenty of sweet (rather than spooky) witchy appeal. I enjoyed Embry's narrative, and appreciated Carl Rose's accompanying black and white illustrations, although a part of me wished for color artwork, given the eponymous blue nose. Recommended to beginning chapter-books readers looking for witchy fantasy and/or charmingly old-fashioned Halloween stories. ( )
