This is definitely one of our favourites. The dragon at the end always adds to the excitement and never fails to put a smile on the boys faces. The interaction I get from the children is great because each section the end line is repeated and so they soon get to know what sentence is coming and love to be able to finish it off. It is a great book to read at the end of the day when everyone is a little bit tired. I find reading this book Really easy (Yes I am an adult and yes I can read, but I mean in the way the words flow). Julia Donaldsons rhyming text and Axel Schefflers brilliant, characterful illustrations come together in this perfect read aloud. The colours are so vibrant but the dark backgrounds create a dramatic effect which is perfect when reading about a witch. The illustrations are really good fun, even down to the expression on the characters faces.
