The Word Witch by Margaret Mahy

Picture Book

This book is a poetry book. All the poems are written by Margaret Mahy, the famous New Zealand Childrens' author.

The illustrator is David Elliot (writer of Sydney stories).

There are poems about witches, trees, magic, stars, dreams, animals, camping...

Some of them we already have in our library in other books.

My Favourite poem is Harry the Hawk because it is all about flying and it makes me dream of flying.

This would be a great for class poem sharing, especially for years 3 and 4.

It is entered in the picture book category but it is kept in the Poetry section DD #821.

I think it will do well.
