Memerizing!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have shared, read, this book since 1997 at the Library and Head Start. The children sit mezmorized while I am reading it. They all LOVE it,especially the scary part about the "witch". I have been asked back to read it several times to new children! It is one of their favorites! BEAUTIFUL art work!!
