Little Witch Hazel: A Year in the Forest

Product Information

The only question I wanted answered was why was this witch so little, and the book does not address that at all. The stories are darling and the illustrations are wonderful - I really enjoyed reading this to my daughter who immediately wanted to play out the tales from the book!

i can absolutely see myself rereading this every season and it made me wish there was a little kid to share it with. Wahl's lovely, detail-packed artwork highlights all the wonders each season has to offer - from special activities to the changing landscape.A pleasant walk through the four seasons, this book is four vignettes of stories of Little Witch Hazel and her life in the forest.

Finally, in Winter: The Blizzard, Hazel finds herself the one in need of help, after her many good deeds aiding all of her friends. everything I loved as a girl, yet it also feels modern (for example, mousepappa staying home with the little ones; fairies with a variety of skin tones). Highly recommended to young fairy-tale enthusiasts, or picture-book readers who enjoy seasonal stories with some magic in them. She hatches a random egg she finds in the woods, learns how to relax and take a break, she investigates an eerie noise, and in the end she gets help from an old friend. Phoebe graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration and currently lives in Bellingham, Washington.

Whatever the case might be, she makes an appealing little heroine, and I hope that Wahl will revisit her world, with its cast of animals and magical creatures, and its days of fun and friendship. i requested my library purchase this book and was so pleased when it showed up in my holds because i saw it as a recommendation for a fat main character in a fantasy world.
