Deep in the forest sat a little witch's house, but the old witch who'd lived there had gone for good. The little house felt empty and alone. As the seasons changed, grass grew tall around it and mushrooms began to sprout from its roof. The little house knew it must find a new witch or it would fall down.
What to do? Creaking, the little house stood up and set out on a journey. Would it find a witch in need of a house?
This charming original fairy tale from Sophie Pluim, illustrator of The Runaway Pancake, celebrates change and being open to new beginnings.
Praise for The Runaway Pancake:
'What elevates this simple tale is the beautiful watercolor illustrations that are vivid, highly detailed, and give readers a sense of place. Children will almost hear the leaves rustling in the wind and smell ripening apples in the trees as the animals crash through the autumn forest.'
-- School Library Journal
'Like the classic tale "The Gingerbread Man", this cumulative story relies on repetition and rhythm... Children will gobble this one up and ask for more.'
-- Kirkus Reviews
'Illustrated in vibrant colours and with a cheeky runaway pancake as the protagonist, this playful story with rhythmic text will get your children engaged and smiling for sure!'
