Customer Reviews

This is my favorite Halloween book.

This is one my favorite Halloween books. I read it to my grandchildren at the end a witch delivers pizza to them on my porch. The kids are kind of freaked out because each year it is a different witch. My grandchildren love cats. This book is perfect. Just enough Halloween scare but no night mares.

Another Beuhner Winner

I love anything by Caralyn and Mark Buehner, but this has always been a favorite with me and my children.

Wonderful Fun

As with all of the Buehner books I have purchased, this one is great! The story is creative. My kids enjoyed all of Wittilda's adventures from beginning to end. We love looking for hidden pictures on the pages, as we have found in other Buehner books. We even found Wittilda flying through "It's not a shovel it's a spoon"! My kids love finding their favorite cat on each page, and look for all the extra details there are to find. This is a book I enjoy reading over and over again!

If My Pizza Guy Rode a Broom Maybe the Pizza Would Be Hot

The 47 cats that witch Wittilda has taken in and cares for are down to their last dried rat! Wittilda goes job hunting and becomes a pizza delivery person with the added edge of swift broom locomotion. She loves her job but the competition is fierce. She gets in a bind when she has to choose between her kind hearted ways and her job. This is such a fun book with super illustrations. There's loads of humour, bright colors, and clever little details to search for, hidden among the hubbub on each page. Wittilda will win your heart.

Delightful childrens tale of a problem solving witch.

Wittilda the Witch needs to provide for her 47 cats. She seeks a job that matches her talents and finally gets a chance to deliver pizzas. Her broom helps beat the competition. However, just when everything is going great she is forced to make a decision that concerns someone in need. The time it takes to rescue a friend, could cost her the pizza delivery job. Excellent illustrations by Mark Buehner, the same talented artist who did the Taxi Dog books. A perfect Halloween favorite.
