Rich Witch Poor Witch is a rhyming comedy picture story book by Peter Bentley and Jim Field, the comedy duo behind a family favourite, Farmer Clegg's Night Out
This fun rhyming story is the tale of two witches who practice a very different kind of witchiness. When presented with a seemingly impossible challenge, whose style of 'magic' will do the business?
Lara is now 4 and she really enjoyed us reading her this book. I think she recognised the style of both the text and images as being similar to Farmer Clegg (which is one of her favourites... an now also a nursery favourite since she took her copy in to share). Lara liked the magical elements (and got a little bit scared by a baby dragon the first time we read it).
Somehow I find the rhyming rhythm less of a drain than I normally do - perhaps because it rhymes and scans so well, or perhaps because I was so eager to find out the result of the story.
We all love the illustrations which have small and tall, animal and human, dark and bright on every page.
