Twitchy Witchy Itch is a book about a witch getting ready to have tea with two of her friends. She starts worrying that her house is not clean enough and not good enough, so she cleans it with a magic spell. Her two friends arrive and they get swept up in the housekeeping spell. The witch then realizes that her friends like her just the way she is.
This is a cute book that would be fun to share with the children during Halloween. It is a amusing alternative to a classic Halloween book.
There were a couple of pictures at the end of the book that made my eyes a little wonky, as one of the witches is a glitch, so her pictures are pixelated, and the other witch is a fidget, and her lines are blurred. The pictures at the end of the book with all three of the witches in them have a lot of different lines and I had hard time being able to focus on the picture. However, the different art techniques were an effective way to show how different each witch was and how they could still be friends.
