Mara is having the worst month of her life. At least, that's what her cards tell her. Education is important and with it you can be your best self. This would be a great book to read around the holid This was a fun story about Tilly Witch who loses her ability to be mean at Halloween and only wants to do good.
I think this would be a fun story to read at Halloween and come up with some activities for. I also liked the message that Tilly goes back to school to relearn all the important things she needs to know to be a good witch. This is a good lesson for children that school is important as is the things you learn there. A marvelous witch book, though full of various stereotypes. It does seem that witch stories for modern children feature unusual modes of transport, more a la mode pour les temps.
What do 21st century witches ride? I hope no 90s witch was so addled as to ride a Segway. An important feature of human nature is illuminated by this book: we do care very much what the cats in our lives think of us. This is an odd book. A mean witch turns good and has to relearn how to be mean.
I suppose it was supposed to be cute, but I'm not sure I want my kids to learn that being mean is a goal to be reached. Although I agree that sitting in the corner wearing a dunce cap, humiliated in front of classmates, is probably a good way to build up enough resentment to turn evil again.
This book gets five stars for its staying power in my memory. Our family owned a copy of this and I recall using my mother's typewriter to copy all the text from the book.
I remember it as a funny story with a good moral I was 7 years old at the time. Hello again, Tilly! This book has a rather interesting twist for the plot: a witch becoming nice and enjoying it until she realizes it's not who she's meant to be.
Summarizing and comprehension would be things to look for from your students after reading this book. A sick book that is littered with suggestive words that have a different meaning in an adult context.
Or that an ancient witch had escaped her tomb and sent demons after me? Demons who cursed my mother. A block that might hold the answers as to why an ancient witch is after me in the first place. If I can figure her out, maybe I can figure out this curse. Rowling, Diana Wynne Jones, and Terry Pratchett—and investigates their sophisticated use of narrative strategies not only to engage children in reading, but to educate them into becoming mature readers and indeed individuals.
The book demonstrates how in quite different ways these writers establish reader expectations by drawing on conventions in existing genres only to subvert those expectations. Their strategies lead young readers to evaluate for themselves both the power of story to shape our understanding of the world and to develop a sense of identity and agency. Rowling, Jones, and Pratchett provide their readers with fantasies that are pleasurable and imaginative, but far from encouraging escape from reality, they convey important lessons about the complexities and challenges of the real world—and how these may be faced and solved.
