The Witch of Fourth Street is a collection of enjoyable, magical stories. Tales of immigrant children and families and how their ordinary days and events become extraordinary when viewed with humor and imagination. A good read aloud book for a wide age range.I liked the glimpses into a different time period from different immigrant perspectives. I also enjoyed the fact that the stories were magical, but believable. Modern day fables.
