Summary: The Wednesday Witch
Review: As a child, I too, read the Wednesday Witch over and over again. I foolishly allowed my mother to sell it at a garage sale when I was in college. Now I am ordering a used copy to read to my children. I am looking forward to receiving it and reading it again, as I have forgotten all the details. All children and probably, all adults, will love this book.

Review: It is sad to see this book is out of print as well as her other books. I read Ruth Chew books as a child in grade school and absolutely loved them. This is a humorous book about a witch that loses her cat and vacuum cleaner (which she flies around on)to a young girl. The adventures the girl has and how she settles, her missing things with the witch. A truly enjoyable book with illustrations here and there through out also done by author. Now where is my vaccum cleaner???....I need to go to the store.

Summary: I loved this book !
Review: Like another reader mentioned, sometimes you read a book and never forget it. I remember checking this book out over and over as a child and then not reading it for years. Just a few years ago I decided to try to find a copy and ordered one that was used since it is out of print. Ever since, I have read it each year to my second grade students. Even with the sophisticated video and books that kids are now exposed to, year after year they choose this book as their favorite read-aloud at the end of the year. Maybe that's because they sense my love for the book, but I don't think so...I believe it's a classic! Enjoy and share with your kids!

Review: Sometimes you a read a book as a child and forget it - I have always remembered "The Wednesday Witch" It was the first book that I read over and over... the other book was "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". But the Wednesday Witch is truly one of my most cherished childhood memories. I recommend it to parents, guardians and nannies!! It's a quick read and so much fun!!

Review: The Wednesday Witch is one of the best children's
books ever written - I read it too many times to
count growing up (along with other Ruth Chew
favorites like What the Witch Left and The Magic
Cave) - I want to get copies of these for my
niece, and I can't believe they are out of print.
I wish somebody would reissue them so that more
kids would have a chance to read these wonderful
books.

Review: Wednesday Witch was my favorite childhood book. I read it countless times. I actually wrote Ruth Chew and told her how much I liked her books and she wrote me back! It was a one page letter and she drew Wednesday Witch in the top left hand corner! I regret that my mom and dad did not safekeep the letter because I misplaced it. I hope that Scholastic will one day re-release the books (despite their preoccupation with witch writer Rowling) so that other kids can enjoy her works.

Review: what a way for a city kid like me to discover the power of the written word!
the author, ruth chew, turned everyday objects into marvels of magic- a household vacuum cleaner that flies over new york!fabulous!
there's nothing more realistic, believable and at the same time --sublime than an old vacuum cleaner that comes to life... i grew up pining for my own personal magic vacuuum cleaner. simply marvelous reading.
