The book was fiction. I liked betty because she was trying to be helpful and she tried to help her mom to make the stew. I would recommend this book because it was great.

We loved when Betty tried to make dinner and it went wrong, and the potion went all over the town. Lovely book.

I really enjoyed it because the dragon got stuck in the goo. I liked it when the little witch tried to make the stew on her, she tried to do something all by herself.

I liked when the Dragon ate the potion and said yuk and then switched and said yum.

Betty wanted to surprise mum by making stew just her, but it all went a bit wrong when she added everything she likes in the cauldron and it won't stop boiling all over the place. At the end of the day, Betty saved the town as the horrible meal she made was enjoyed by a dragon who troubled the town.

My favorite character is Betty because she does a really bad thing but she saved the world at the end with her mum's help. I like this story and there is a dragon at the end!

How the potion was made, because the dragon liked it. I also like how she messed the town up and the mum came and that there was a dragon in it.

I liked how Betty put all the different foods in the potion. My favourite character was the mum and the cat because the mum is good at potions and the cat jumped on her head when he was scared. I picked this book because I love making my own potion.

I enjoyed this one, it was like the Magic Porridge Pot, but different. I read this to Ruby, and then Mummy read it to us at Bedtime.
