Summary: A witch book for the faint-hearted.
Comment: I purchased this book based on pre-publication reviews.
I figured that a book featuring a black cat looking for a witch would be a natural for my library's Halloween story time. The fact that it also featured a library seemed to be a bonus.
The illustrations by Pawel Pawlak are chaming and are definitely the book's strong point. The cat, Herbert, and the witch school girls are well drawn and show individual personalities.
Unfortunately, the illustrations are not enough to carry the book. The story is bland. There isn't enough substance here to engage most children. Herbert's search for an owner is unconvincing. To make matters worse, the book seems to stop one page short of the end. It doesn't end; it just stops with no sense of completion. I read it to my 5-year-old grandson and both of us automatically reached to turn a final page that wasn't there.
Though I might use this as a non-scary story for the under-three-year-olds, I will stick to "Meaner than Meanest" by Kevin Somers and "Wee Witches Halloween" by Jerry Smath for my Halloween storytelling to anyone over three. They're funny, have an interesting plot and the kids love them!
