In four new stories, illustrated by Korky Paul, everyone's favourite witch shows a little bit of her wild side: solving crimes, making wishes come true, shearing sheep, or swinging from a jungle vine. Welcome to Winnie's world! Includes of course, her big black cat, Wilbur, and a zany supporting cast of new characters. Korky Paul's exuberant black line illustrations complement the humour, slapstick, and moments of real drama that run through each story. Pure magic!
A small number of children were lucky enough to be invited to read and review Mini Winnie which is the first Winnie Young Fiction title. Here's a taster....'Each page of the book is crammed full of really cool jokes and Korky Paul’s illustrations are great, making me chuckle away for hours. It’s a fantastic book and I can’t wait to get hold of more of the series to see what Winnie gets up to.'....
Winnie the Witch may not be an expert, but when has that ever stopped her? Here she tries her hand at a bit of detective work, she attempts to earn pocket money by doing various jobs, she has a go at shearing sheep, and she even discovers her inner Tarzan when her broomstick is blown off course, dumping her in dense jungle.
