Winnie's Crazy Capers

Valerie Thomas
Illustrated by Korky Paul

Welcome to the wonderful world of Winnie the Witch and her long-suffering cat, Wilbur. There's the time that a small lost dragon stumbles into Winnie's house after midnight - he's boisterous and fiery and Wilbur is not sure about him at all. There's plenty to celebrate as Winnie's birthday approaches but will the day go according to plan? Probably not! And, if that were not enought, there's the time that poor Wilbur is carried of by a flying carpet with a mind of its own and Winnie has to follow in hot pursuit as the carpet takes Wilbur on a series of adrenalin-rush fairground rides. Three of Winnie and Wilbur's best-loved escapades for young readers are here to enjoy in one bright beautiful book.

Readership : Suitable for children 2 +

Reviews

  • "Paul's artwork is as dynamic and arresting as ever. His comic touch is perfectly judged, stretching the simple story within reach of a wide age group."
