Very cute story

I bought this book a few years ago for my daughter for Halloween. She immediately loved it and I had to buy another copy for her to donate to her school as her birthday book (every child donates a book on their birthday and their picture and year is placed in the inside cover - wonderful tradition). This is a very cute story with beautiful artwork about a little witch who wants a pet. Because she is a witch, she wants the creepiest pet possible. She brings home different pets from the pet store, but returns them as they aren't exactly what she wants. Finally, a cute kitten shows up on her doorstep, and despite her adorable looks, the kitten is exactly what she was looking for in a pet (explores the attic with her, watches creepy movies with her and listens to her secrets). The moral of the story - appearances don't matter as much as your character.

cute

Mitzi is a witch who is on a quest for the perfect pet. She goes to a special pet shop that sells creepy pets. After all she is a witch, a normal pet just won't do! She finds a great shop filled with creepy pets like worms, bats, and toads. She tries a few out but they just don't seem to be good friends for hr. One night Mitzi hears something scratching at the door. She opens it to find a cute kitten. At first she thinks that she can't have such a "cute" pet. But the kitten turns out to be a great friend for her and she keep the cat for her pet! What did you like or not like about the book? The book was short and easy to read. This could be read for Haolloween to small kids. It's not scary at all! Would you recommend this book? Why or Why not? Yes we would. This is a great book that can lead to discussions on friendship, pets, or Halloween
