Betty the witch is brewing her first-ever potion! Join her as she collects her ingredients from the skies and Monster Town.
Quick Summary
Betty the Witch in Training is exactly the kind of short, silly adventure that keeps beginning readers turning pages. Michelle Robinson packs a lot of fun into less than 400 words, following Betty as she gathers wild, wacky ingredients flying eyeballs from the skies and monster hair from Monster Town to make her very first potion. The humor is playful and a little spooky in that safe, Halloween-party way, making this a great pick for kids who like things just a tiny bit creepy without being scary. It's perfect for early readers who want something on the shorter side but still want a story with real personality, or for read-alouds with kindergarten through second grade crowds. If your kid loves silly fantasy adventures, this pairs nicely with the "Mog the Cat" series or other early chapter books that mix humor with heart. Parents will appreciate that it's a quick, wholesome story that lets kids feel accomplished while still being genuinely entertaining.
