The Worst Witch to the Rescue ( Magical Adventures of the Worst Witch #06 )

Mildred Hubble, the worst student at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, returns in a new escapade for young magic lovers.
Lovable but accident-prone Mildred Hubble is possibly the worst witch ever to go to Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. She always tries her best, but her spells never seem to go right. In her latest adventure, Mildred is set up for disaster by her arch-nemesis, Ethel Hallow. Ethel steals Mildred's summer project and her enchanted tortoise, Einstein, and Mildred must brave a broomstick flight through a violent thunderstorm to rescue him. But will she ever get back into Miss Hardbroom's good graces? Since 1974, millions of readers have enjoyed Mildred's exploits, and now she's back to cast her spell on a new generation of readers.

Paint Me!

Red, blue, and yellow are just the tip of the iceberg when you have a good imagination. In this colorfully illustrated story, a young girl makes her way through the day--first painting a portrait of her dog, and then painting anything and everything she can find. With a simple, affectionate plot that teaches colors and embraces the "creative process" for many kids, "Paint Me!" offers a message of love and discovery.
Featuring a heartwarming story and simple yet striking illustrations from author and illustrator Sarah Frances Hardy, "Paint Me!" encourages children to explore their creativity and express themselves while learning their primary and secondary colors. For parents who remember reading "Harold and the Purple Crayon" when they were young, or for those who love more recent books about art such as "Beautiful Oops!," this is one sweet story you won't want to have missing from your library.
