EVELYN WITCH GETS A PET
Come join Evelyn Witch as she waits for her new pet egg to hatch and discover that . . .
Waiting is Hard!
What People are Saying
"When a young witch acquires an egg that conceals a “mystery pet,” she impatiently uses her magic to attempt to hatch it.
Playful text paired with vignettes of the frustrated Evelyn watching over the egg make the young witch’s displeasure clear: Waiting is hard! . . . Evelyn treks over mountains, sails seas, and explores a cave, casting delightfully rhyming spells—to no avail. But after a heartwarming epiphany—and a lesson in the value of patience—Evelyn and readers alike are rewarded with a perfect result. Comical, scribbly art—a creative mix of panels and full-page spreads—complements the text, whose extensive vocabulary is couched in conversational syntax; Evelyn’s frequent exclamation of “Sniveling snails!” is a particular delight.
Fun for witches in training and aspiring pet owners alike."
