Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For the first time in paperback, a story of seven children who are saved by their mother after an evil witch casts a spell on them. The children — each named for a day of the week — are transformed into specific types of food, and only their mother, with the help of a blackbird, can break the evil spell. Full color.

Review:

"The inherent drama of the story, combined with the haunting images the art provides, gives the picture book a timeless quality." Booklist

Synopsis:

In this story, seven sweet children are transformed by an evil witch into specific types of food.
