New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (1989) dj. Hardcover first edition - An interesting collaboration between a poet and his daughter. "The poem is a first-person account of a boy who watches an old 'witch' and then is 'bundled' in to help her with her chores, written in a heavy London dialect. The illustrations also provide a challenge, for they are filled with subtle clues and false leads that must be read carefully to understand the story. In the first half of the book, the picture on the recto shows the actual events, but hidden within each of these is a mirror image that reflects another possibility. Flying above the text on the verso are various witches, including one with punk hair and a safety pin in her ear. In the second half of the book, the text and a small picture showing actual events face full left-page pictures showing the witches gathering and partying with Baba Yag. McClure uses frames filled with eerie plant and animal forms to surround her pictures; intriguing frames-within-frames on the dust jacket forshadow the final revealing picture. A thought-provoking picture book not designed for read-alouds, but instead for children and young adults who will tackle careful and repeated consideration of words and pictures.. it plays on children's fear of the elderly, a point teachers and librarians may want to raise for discussion."(School Library Journal) Square format, unpaginated.
