A Woggle of Witches

Reach for this book when your child is curious about the spooky side of Halloween but might be feeling a little intimidated by the dark or the unknown. It is the perfect bridge for children who find typical monsters frightening but are ready to explore a world where even 'scary' beings have their own vulnerabilities. The story follows a group of witches as they prepare for a night of flying and celebration, only to be caught off guard by something they find truly terrifying: ordinary children in costumes. This classic tale uses a clever perspective shift to normalize the feeling of being startled. By showing that even witches get the 'wiggles' and can be frightened by us, the book helps demystify fear and replaces it with a sense of playful camaraderie. It is a gentle, atmospheric choice for the preschool and early elementary years that focuses on the whimsy of magic rather than genuine horror.
