Early Reader: The Witch Dog
Margaret Mahy, Sam Usher
Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books. A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reading together. A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey. The Witch Dance is a special party. Every witch brings a cloak, a hat and a cat. But not Witch Rose. She is allergic to cats! Luckily for her, Nightshade, the perfect Witch Dog is on hand to help. But can Witch Rose and Nightshade convince the other witches that a Witch Dog really can be as good as any cat? A brand-new full colour Early Reader edition of this charming story from the CARNEGIE-winning and HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AWARD nominee author Margaret Mahy, with illustrations by Sam Usher.

It was exciting my favourite character was nightshade because he can play a violin.

I thought it was funny that the witch was allergic to cats so she had to have a dog on her broomstick. I think my friends would like this book, it is easy to read and fun too.

It was a fun story. The witch had a dog instead of a cat as cats made her sneeze. The dog was clever as he could play music and make everyone dance.

We loved reading this book. My daughter liked to pretend she was one of the witches dancing to the dogs music! It helped my daughter practising her phonics and sounds.

I like that this story has a witch called Smudge. I like that name. I also liked that Witch Smudge turned into a toad and the head witch wished she had been turned into a plate of sausages instead!

This book is great because they told her to get a cat but she sneezes when a cat is here but she likes dogs
