(4) K-3 A timid girl tries to overcome her fears by pretending to be a witch and chanting such magic words as please and thank you. She realizes that the snakes and monsters she imagines are actually just shoelaces and bushes. Children will identify with her fears, amplified by the bold illustrations, even if her method for working through them is a bit confusingly presented.
