review 1: Up and Away was a sweet fantasy book made just for little girls. I really enjoyed how detailed the pictures were and there were a few pages that were half pages, where it mixed up the flow of the book. In the book was a page that opened up to reveal a picture of a hot air balloon. I found this page to be the most interesting because it was different and had an element that most children's books do not have. The one thing that I would say was lacking was the text in the story. I feel that it was short and not too creative, and overall I did not like it.
review 2: Tonight I read a string of 2-star picture books and was prepared to not be impressed with this one, too. But I am CHARMED. I love the shaggy pencil drawings, I love the pointy little witchy noses, ... moreI love that the girls only land among other witches (are they living in a completely witchy world, or are only witches awake at night, or are they just extraordinarily lucky?), I love the detail of the marvelous witchy homes, I love the alternating narrow-cut pages that act as lift-the-flaps. I love that this is JUST A STORY. With NO MESSAGE. (Quite a few of tonight's picture books had Messages.)Seriously, how can you not love a journey that must be paused because "the little Witch Princess needs to pee!" And how can you not love the Boat Witch who says immediately, "A Witch Princess! What an honor! I have an especially pretty potty for a Witch Princess." I mean, really. PS. I just now saw the Coke cans tied with string to the floating witchy hammock at Lizzy's house. LOVE. less
