I recently found this book after looking for years! I couldn't remember the title or author or exact plot. I remembered reading it as a child...I had a mental image of the cover and that it was about some kind of witch, and that we find out that (SPOILER) some animals are actually aliens. So when I recognized the cover at a used bookstore I was super excited! Just reread it and it was as magical as I remembered. What a little gem 😊

Refreshingly off-kilter and reminiscent of Daniel Pinkwater in his prime, this is a fun story with impressive illustrations, but it has some pacing problems and isn't consistently engaging. It still makes me want to check out more of Senn's work, though.

Unique summer read for a kid.

I adored this book when I was little, read and re-read it and the whole family knew it was a favourite for a time. That copy is still in a box somewhere, but I've not read it for years so have no idea how it's held up.

A sea side family vacation, a witch and strange animals! You can't go wrong! Loved it when I was a kid!
