We’re doing some weeding here at the library and are stumbling across some really great, seemingly forgotten books. It’s well known that kids love books that are part of a series—that way you don’t have to leave the characters you know and love; you just get to know them better!
One character worth getting to know is Dorrie the little witch. We have a bunch of Dorrie books, written by Patricia Coombs.
These books would be great as a read aloud book for youngsters making the transition from picture books to chapter or early reader books. There are beautiful, fun and lively illustrations that document Dorrie and her cat Gink in all of her adventures living in Glumglen with all the other witches. Dorrie has adventures that range from getting turned into a frog to “teaching herself” how to fly to troubles with a mysterious houseguest to more! There is lots of fun to be had when you’re a little witch whose hat is always crooked and socks never match.
Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean it’s time to give up on witches, ghosts and ghouls! They’re fun all year long.
Pick up a Dorrie book today and enjoy getting to know this spunky little witch.
