Grimelda the Very Messy Witch

by Diana Murray and illustrated by Heather Ross

From Goodreads: 

Grimelda’s house may not be tidy, but it’s cozy, and that’s just the way she likes it. She also likes pickle pie. There’s only one problem—she can’t find the main ingredient in her messy house! Readers who enjoyed Norman Bridwell’s classic The Witch Next Door will love this funny, charming story about the everyday life of a witch.

After reading the book to the class, process it with these or similar questions:
  • Did you like that book?
  • Did you think her house was messy?
  • Did you ever wish you could cast a Finding Spell when you lose something?
  • Have you ever found something you had looked for previously when you start to tidy something?
  • If you had your room all neat and tidy, would you cast a spell to make it a mess again?
  • What should you do after your room is all neat and tidy?
