1. The tagged book was my first favorite book. Read in maybe 3rd grade?
2. There was a coffee shop in my town where you could rent books…recently released ones…for .25 cents a day. My Mom would get me the new Stephen King books when they were released. I usually read them in 2-3 days. She knew how much I loved his books.
3. Probably last July. I went to see a favorite guitar player and his most recent band.

I somehow missed reading this classic when I was growing up. Glad I fixed it and read it now. Cute and nostalgic. Second book for #spookoween2022 completed.

I don‘t remember ever reading the tagged book as a kid. It was a cute story with a happy ending.
I never posted my goals for #outstandingoctober
So far, I have finished a book & an audiobook, plus read Little Witch. My goals for this week are to read at least 1 audiobook, 1 book, & finish my current book (Under the Whispering Door). @Andrew65 #scarathlon #teamslaughter 6 pts @Clwojick

I enjoyed reading this classic children‘s book which remained in print for more than forty years! The illustrator, Helen Stone, studied in New York and Paris and received two Caldecott Honor Book citations. This fantasy is one of my favorites: a group of elves helping with the preparation of meals.
This book satisfied my desire to read seasonally, but without the violence and gore. #childrensclassicread2021 @TheBookHippie

I finished this one this evening with some kettle corn. What a great October read! I had never heard of this book before but am so glad I made time to fit in a few chapters every few days to join in reading it this month.

Such a great read! This is my favorite era of children‘s books. They do such a good job of drawing you into these amazing little timeless worlds, using writing and plots that are age appropriate but sharp enough that I want to read them as an adult. ❤️🧙📗

My first time reading this! Fun, with some unexpected humour that genuinely made me chuckle. It's a book of its time in terms of how it presents its good fairy women vs bad witchy women and I wanted some justice for the class of witches in general 😆 I was also a bit stressed out by how cruel the witch mum was 😩 *All of that* aside, this was mostly enjoyable 🙃🧚🏼‍♀️ Thanks for putting it on my radar @TheBookHippie #ChildrensClassicRead2021

AmyG This was the first book I fell in love with. I was in maybe 3rd grade? ❤️ 3y
batsy @AmyG I've seen a lot of people say the same and I'm amazed I hadn't really heard much about it before this! But better late than never 😊 3y
TheBookHippie I ALWAYS have to put myself in the time to read these older classics 😂 I agree with everything you said! 3y

Nute This seems to be a popular book, but I‘ve never heard of it. I‘m hoping to read more holiday/season-theme books during their time. I think that might be fun. I picked up a couple of horror fiction books last week which I hope to read in October. Glad that I caught this review!🙂 3y
batsy @TheBookHippie It requires a bit of a mental shift 😁 3y
batsy @Nute I'm pleased to have helped 😁 It's a sweet, undemanding Halloween read to balance out some of the horror you might be reading! 3y
LeahBergen Look at that cute Scholastic cover! 3y
batsy @LeahBergen I read the Kindle edition that has the 60th anniversary edition cover but I had to go search to see if there were other cute older covers 😄 3y

Thanks to @TheBookHippie for another wonderful #childrensclassicread2021 selection! I hadn‘t read this before but would have liked it as a child. I wonder if the kiddo will enjoy it…
A great way to start October!

TheBookHippie I never expected it to be this wonderful!!!! In my plan of reading few pages a day -but I went a tad over today 😂😂- it‘s so fun (edited) 3y
ravenlee @TheBookHippie I thought I‘d read a bit over a few days…or finish it in one day 😆 I loved her name, and her nickname, too. 3y
TheBookHippie @ravenlee I‘m so sad I didn‘t know about it earlier ! I plan to recommend it all over the place 💜💜💜💜 3y

My other #favoritechildrensbook. The little witch just wants to go to school and have friends but her mother wants to eat children. I love this book. Tracked down a copy of it a few years ago. Love it.

My favorite when I was a little girl. Maybe this is why I grew up to love Stephen King. ;)

Sometimes, on the Friday of a not-great week, you need something easy. I found the 60th anniversary reissue of this (it's beautiful) wandering a nice little book store in Chicago. Reading it again I'm amazed at how evocative it is, and how thoroughly charming. This would be a great one to buy and read to/with elementary-aged kids. Also good if you're 50ish and love witches. And books with pictures. And Halloween.

tpixie Yes to all!! 🧙‍♀️🕷🖤💛🖤 3y
