Little Witch’s To-Do List (A Magical List Book): A Picture Book

Ages 3 to 5, Grades P to K

From training her stubborn owl to taking flying lessons, Little Witch will get through her daily to-do list one item at a time in this brand-new picture book that gently teaches time management, with the next book in the series set to feature a very busy Easter Bunny

Little Witch is very busy from morning to night—good thing she has a to-do list! From brewing potions to summoning bats to baking a toadstool cake, she has many tasks to complete before bedtime. But it’ll all get done; one thing at a time.

And when all her tasks are finally completed, Little Witch is rewarded with a fantastically finished list and a hug from her mom.

Perfect for Halloween or everyday read-alouds, Little Witch’s To-Do List offers a gentle lesson on the importance of organization. The raised, glittery text on the cover is so inviting that young readers will be eager to accompany Little Witch during her very busy day.

And they are in for another sparkly surprise when they unfold a secret flap at the end of the book to see all the items in Little Witch’s to-do list checked off in glittery ink from her magic wand!

Cast a spell for sunshine / Fluff my cobweb bed

Feed my baby phoenix / Turn my black robe red
