by Ursula Jones

Look out! The witch's children are coming and that means Trouble! Out in the park one windy day, they try out their magic: Gemma's turned into a frog, the ice cream van into a coach, the squirrels into footmen. But then the witch's children don't know how to break the spells! How will they return everything to normal? Get Mum to sort it out, of course! A funny and reassuring picturebook with wacky, exuberant illustrations and a rhythmical text perfect for reading aloud.
