The Witch's Children by Ursula Jones
4.0
In the park one windy day, the witch's three children arise - much to the terror of the local squirrels and pigeons. The children nonchalantly make their way through the park until they espy a young girl, Gemma, horrified that her toy boat is lost to the park's lake.
Never fear, the children will help...by turning Gemma into a frog (so that she can retrieve her boat), then the trees into a palace, pigeons into guards and so on and so on, until they're never quite sure how the undo all their hiccups. It is the youngest one who knows what to do and calls upon the greatest magic there is - the power of her Mum!
Ayto's wind-swept spreads are glorious and help whip up a humorous frenzy.
