The Witch's Britches by P Crumble
Scholastic Australia, 2015. ISBN 9781760151539
(Age: 6+) Highly recommended. The Witch's Britches is a fun
rhyming story that explains where the magic of a witch comes from -
her britches! Ethel is a new witch and her packet of britches has
arrived. Britches need to be kept clean or their magic doesn't work
so Ethel washes them. Unfortunately it is a bit windy and the
britches blow away. Can Ethel get her britches back or will mayhem
occur?
Bright images accompany each rhyming couplet and bring a sense of
fun to an already funny story. The text is simple and easy to read
and is highly recommended to readers aged 6+. Use it in the
classroom to introduce rhyming poems or recreate the story with
another piece of clothing. Enjoy reading it out loud with your
child, creating a song with the rhymes and rhythms of the language.
