5.0 out of 5 stars Open minded, down to earth people will love this book :), October 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Witch Next Door (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful book for children. It encourages children to be open minded, loving and accepting of all people and all religions. There are a few stuffy individuals out there who wouldn't approve of their children loving all people, even those of Pagan traditions, but then, what would Jesus do? :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book for Both Children and Adults, December 4, 1998

John S. Vamossy (Davison, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Witch Next Door (Paperback)

This book will always hold a special place in my heart since it was the first book I read all by myself. I was thrilled to find it still available after all these years. As a child, I found this book entertaining. As an adult, I find it enlightening. It deals with the serious subject of prejudice in a manner which, though not heavyhanded, is effective. I am glad to now be able to share this book with my own child.

What a pleasure to have a charming, funny, positive witch as a main character. My son loves this book. I'm happy to read it to him again & again because of the underlying lessons of acceptance and celebration. Thank You Mr. Bridwell! Blessed Be!
