For Ages 5 to 7
Whizz-Bang Winnie Laura Owen, illustrated by Korky Paul (Oxford Children’s Books, 978 01927 27527)
The ever-popular Winnie the Witch, and her black cat Wilbur, are flying from the pages of their picture books to embark on longer adventures for young readers. Each book has four complete Winnie stories with great comical illustrations, that bring Winnie to life, by the wonderful Korky Paul. In the four stories in Whizz-Bang Winnie, our heroine enters a hot-wheels race, brings stories to life for a class of children, searches for a missing Wilbur and creates a ‘chocodile’ which lays chocolate eggs. Older children will enjoy reading these independently, while younger readers may need some help.
