Witch's Handbook

This is a great children's book with really funny color and b/w illustrations. The illustrations are throughout the whole book which is always a plus. They have fun things in here like "useful herbs", "knitting patterns" for a skull cap, "halloween fun", "picking furniture". It's all really cute and not meant to be taken seriously. The witches are all portrayed as ugly old hags but that goes along with the fun.

I love this book!Funny, quite well researched, some good recipies, some decent knitting patterns (in a book for children.. quite unusual, I know), not to mention the cute cartoon witches! Some of the information in the book is hidden (like the jar of bent pins in the 'witches beware' page.. which is a precaution against harmful magic, sending it straight back to the person who cast the spell without any affect to the inhabitants of the house) and the only fault in the book is that it seems to stick with the idea that witches are all evil.. I still love the book though!

This book is class- i've had it since i was about ten, but im still enjoying it as an adult! its well funny, & i love all the crafts to do- however some forgot one extra important ingredient- a rather large pinch of salt! Check out the 'alternative' horroscopes and the employment suggestions- should make you chuckle!

I read this book in third grade and I loved it so much! I'm not into witchcraft or anything but this book was really funny. The illustrations add to the fun. I would recommend this book to anyone.

The Witch's handbook is a simply delicious piece, acting as a fictitious guide for the beginning witch or warlock. Through an inventive series of illustrations, text blocks, recipes, and indexes, a humorous collection is created of "do"s and "don't"s for the magical novice. Though written primarily for children, this fantastic book delights readers of all ages alike. A must for the lovers of the unusual.
