Alice and Greta: A Tale of Two Witches

Rating:
Summary: Wiches and magic.
Review: Alice and Greta is a delightful book written by Steven J. Simmons. As you can read from the other reviews, it is about two witches who choose to behave differently, one doing good deeds and one doing bad deeds. The Brewmerang Principle is the main theme here, telling the witches that whatever you do will come back to you. My four year old granddaughter LOVES this book. The illustrations
by Cyd Moore are vibrant and wonderful! This book has been a wonderful way to teach my young granddaughter that good deeds return good deeds to her. She talks about being like Alice and doing good things for people. If you are looking for an entertaining book with a great moral lesson, this is it!! I have just discovered the other books in the series and am going to buy them today!! Thanks for a wonderful book!!

Summary: Alice and Greta: A Tale of Two Witches
Review: Alice and Greta, two zealous young witches who have just graduated from Magic School, are ready for some action. Greta, whose nasty attire reflects her attitude is, searches for good things to ruin, while the sweet and perky Alice looks for good deeds to do. Each witch goes her own way until one day their paths collide, and Greta comes to terms with the most important lesson a witch can learn.
Cyd Moore's cover illustrations could cause this enchanting book to jump off of the shelf and into the arms of any young reader searching for a fun read. The detailed pictures and simple font help to maintain the picture book status, focusing on painting a picture through words and illustrations, while making each character and scene come alive. Simmons uses the witches' lives to expose the importance of treating others with kindness without blatantly preaching or forcing the idea on the reader. I recommend this magical book to children of all ages.

Summary: Alice and Greta
Review: Besides living on the same mountain top, Alice and Greta have a lot in common. They are both witches. They both went to the Miss Mildred Mildew's School of Magic and learned the same spells. But that's where the similarities end. Alice uses her magic for good; Greta prefers to make trouble (but then, what can you expect from someone who starts the day off with a cup of pond slime every morning?).

Greta wasn't paying attention when Miss Mildew taught her pupils the most important lesson of all -- "The Brewmerang Principle: Whatever you chant, Whatever you brew, Sooner or later Comes back to you!" So while Alice helps a sailboat stranded on a sandbar; Greta uses the same spell to swamp a sand castle and sweep it out to sea. After Alice makes a lost puppy reappear; Greta uses the same spell to make all the balls at a soccer tournament disappear.

One day Greta dumps a load of sticky slimy marshmallow goo on some children in a playground. Before Alice can help them, Greta slimes her, too. Then Alice remembers the Brewmerang Principle, and invokes its application on Greta. Greta gets a taste of every nasty thing she's ever done.

The story could end there, but it doesn't. It ends with Greta brushing up on the Brewmerang Principle. Maybe there's hope for her yet.

Cyd Moore's beautiful illustrations add humorous touches to this charming tale. During flying lessons, Alice straddles her broom in proper witchy fashion, while Greta hangs upside down by her knees on hers. Alice chants her chants in a lotus position; Greta prefers to stand on her head. Best of all, on graduation day, all the new witches from Miss Mildred's have mortar board pointy hats, complete with tassels.

Review: Magic and wizardry are just some of the thing's you'll find in the book called Alice and Greta by Steven J.Simmons. This story is about Alice who is a wich and does nice thing's for people and girl named Greta who is also a wich and does mean thing's to people.
So if you like magic, you'll like this book. I like this book because everything that Greta did to people comes back to her in the end. So the lesson you learn is it doesn't matter what you do to people it will always comes back to you.
