Witchful Thinking: A Cauldron of Poems
click to look inside
In these pages, my child, you will find
Zany witches designed to spellbind.
They do just as they please—
Making magic with ease—
Some are spooky, while others are kind.


There are poems about magical brews—
Poems of potions and spells witches use—
Poems of parties they give—
Poems of haunts where they live—
Poems to mystify, charm, and amuse.


Witty witches on pages within
Will most certainly bring on a grin.
With their capes and tall hats
And their frisky black cats
They are keen for your fun to begin.

"Ben, the Bells and the Peacocks is quite, quite wonderful. The creation of infant Ben's mental life and the rendering of fantastic sights, both ordinary and extraordinary, in a real neighborhood on Manhattan's Upper West Side have universal appeal. The illustrations beautifully capture the ideas and feelings behind the words."
