About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their imaginative child is ready for their first chapter books and loves a bit of silly, spooky fun without any real scares. This classic story follows Dorrie, a little witch with mismatched socks, on her first day at witch school. Her curiosity and excitement lead her and a new friend, Dither, to mix up a spell, accidentally summoning a grumpy ghost who causes chaos. The book explores themes of curiosity, friendship, and creative problem solving. Perfect for early independent readers aged 6 to 8, its gentle humor and charming, two-color illustrations make it a delightful, non-threatening introduction to stories about magic and school-day mishaps.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book features a ghost, but the approach is entirely metaphorical and humorous. The "haunting" is more about mischief and annoyance than genuine fear. The ghost is depicted as a grumpy character who needs to be appeased, not a scary spirit. The resolution is hopeful and clever. The story is secular and fantastical.
