Winnie's Madcap Mishaps

by

Valerie Thomas
Illustrator: Korky Paul

In Winnie Flies Again, the madcap witch continually crashes her broomstick. But will a bicycle be better? Or a skateboard? Or even a horse?

 

Winnie has a red nose and Wilbur's whiskers are frozen in Winnie in Winter. So Winnie waves her wand and, abracadabra, it's summer, just in her garden. All her neighbours think this is fantastic but Winnie has her doubts.

 

Wonderfully witty illustrations reveal how comical Winnie's life is, for everyone but her.

 

Publisher: Oxford University Press
