Halloween is just over a week away and many of you will be reading Halloween themed stories. We have thought of as many fictional witches as we can but we’re sure that we have missed lots! Do you have a favourite fictional witch to add to our list?
Winnie the Witch by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul – Winnie is still our favourite picture book witch and although we have enjoyed lots of her adventures the original story is still our favourite.
Winnie’s Big Catch by Laura Owen and Korky Paul – We also enjoy reading the Winnie Early Readers in which we are introduced to several new characters.
Meg’s Eggs by Helen Nicoll and Jan Pienkowski – The stories about Meg, Mog and Owl are timeless and my daughter loves reading them. Meg’s Eggs is still our favourite.
Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler – This is my daughter’s favourite Julia Donaldson story and she loves to re-enact the witch’s adventures.
Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure by Kristina Stephenson – There is a great twist at the end of this story and it’s related to the witch who follows Charlie throughout his adventure.
It’s Raining Bats & Frogs by Rebecca Colby and Steven Henry – Delia does her best to help when rain threatens the annual witch parade but when changing the rain to bats and frogs doesn’t work she needs to find another solution.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C S Lewis – We have the picture book version of this classic story which has wonderful illustrations of The White Witch.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay – Hogwarts not only takes young wizards but also young witches as well, the most famous being Muggle, Hermione Granger.
