As the homely witch adds everything from a rusty 14-1-9-12 to a bunch of 7-18-5-5-14 / 7-18-1-16-5-19, not to mention things like a 8-1-9-18 from the head of a 8-5-14, the bubbling brew thickens... but will it work? Regardless of the outcome, young readers who enjoy puzzles and codes will have a fun time figuring out what each ingredient is (the decoder is presented on both the front and rear endpapers), and will discover that it gets easier with each page, as certain letter-number combinations become fixed in their minds. The artwork is cute - I especially liked the witch's cat, whose expressions were very droll! - in a vintage way, and while the story isn't particularly engrossing, the reading experience is entertaining all the same. Recommended to anyone in the market for witchy picture-books, alphabet books with a slightly different focus, or children's books that provide more of an interactive challenge. ( )
