The Birthday Spell
Fed up with her bossy family, Josie decides to put her favourite birthday present - a witch's costume and paraphernalia... to immediate use... 'I am a witch and I can make vanishing spells for BOSSY PEOPLE!' The seeming success of one spell almost spoils her birthday tea but all ends happily.
Those who have yet to make Josie's acquaintance are strongly advised to do so now: the hardcover edition, entitled The Bossing of Josie, became a great favourite with my infants last year. Highly recommended both as a storytime read aloud, and for individuals' private consumption, 'particularly when they are feeling 'got at'.
