"Engrossing children as they learn about themes such as solidarity and camaraderie, this highly entertaining story follows three very old witches who have just moved to the City of Fruit-Shaped Houses. There, in a cherry-shaped house, they set up a perfumery, selling perfumes for children and soaps for babies. The store is a huge success--never before have the children of the town smelled so good. And yet, they seem to be aging much more quickly than usual. What are the witches up to?"--Amazon.com.
