Dorrie and the birthday eggs door Patricia Coombs
The illustrations are the star in this book. They are charming. Dorrie runs into trouble on her way to get eggs and is not listened to by the adults in her life. Eventually she is able to warn them and they finish the day with cake.

The witches and wizards of Witchville are not acting like themeselves -- they are bickering and fighting with one another. Dorrie learns the cause and attempts to save the day.
With apologies to A Chorus Line, Dance 3 Looks 10. The illustrations are very nice but the story is kind of …meh.
I almost passed on this but I feel like some children like a gentle Halloween and not a scary Halloween. So I’ll keep this a while and see.
YMMV because witchcraft, spells, ghost talk .

I really hope one of these books shows the Big Witch engaging more with Dorrie - she seems to be such a background character, but maybe that’s a purposeful decision, so as to let Dorrie take center stage?
