That clever little witch who first appeared in author/illustrator Linda Glovach's 1972
The Little Witch's Black Magic Cookbook
, before going on to star in nine subsequent books, returns in this eleventh title to chronicle her creative endeavors. Here the theme, as one would suppose from the title, is spring celebrations, including Easter, Passover, May Day, and general spring observances. The book begins with a discussion of spring, and the signs that herald its arrival, before going on to present a number of seasonal crafts, games and activities, and tasty treats that can be made...
Published in 1983, The Little Witch's Spring Holiday Book is an appealing entry in Glovach's sixteen-volume series devoted to this little magic maker's crafty ideas. I was very surprised to see that there was no index here—something that was present in all previous titles—and disappointed that there was no "Witch's Code" section to set out behavioral expectations (present in most previous titles), but leaving these two issues aside, I found this as engaging as its predecessors. I appreciated the fact that Easter and Passover were both included, and that all of the craft and cooking ideas were fairly simple, utilizing easily obtainable items and foods. I sometimes find it rather amusing to be the only reader online to have read and/or reviewed the titles in this series, as I do not approach them from any interest in their content, save for the witchy element, which is what drew me to them. That being said, for those who work with children, their own or others, and who are looking for seasonal craft and activity ideas, these books might contain some helpful ideas. It is to such readers that I would recommend them.
