Purchase options and add-ons

Mitzi is a witch who likes creepy things. So when she decides to get a pet, she wants the creepiest pet possible. But the bats she tries are too batty, the toad does nothing but eat bugs, and the warthogs . . . well, that’s a whole other story.
Mitzi is in despair. She wants a creepy pet that is fun--and that will share her secrets. It seems too much to hope for, until one rainy night when something unexpected scratches on her door. . . .
With gentle humor and a touch of magic, Arthur Howard reveals how true friendship sometimes turns up in the most surprising places.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Despite the theme of witches and creepy critters, this is a very uncreepy, sweet, and unthreatening picture book suitable for children just getting into things spooky. Mitzi is a right little witch. She lives in a sort of permanent Halloween, surrounded by cobwebs and dubious-looking aunts in pointy hats. She wants a pet--a really, really creepy pet, please--but, despite repeated broomstick-flights to Cackle & Co. pet store, she just can't get one that satisfies. Finally a kitten named Hoodwink shows up at the door, is almost turned away on account of being horribly cuddly and nice... and turns out to be just perfect. Arthur Howard has won awards for his previous books Cosmo Zooms and When I Was Five; it's easy to see why. (Ages 3 to 7) --Richard Farr

From Publishers Weekly

Despite her dainty button nose and freckles, Mitzi wears a purple witch's gown and eats skull-shaped Rice Creepies cereal. She needs a frightful pet to match her gothic style. When a fuzzy marmalade kitten appears, Mitzi sighs, "You're simply not creepy enough." But she changes her mind after an evening of prowling, and names her sidekick "Hoodwink." Howard (Cosmo Zooms) uses cute-fierce characters and cobwebby settings in this comical rejection of sugar and spice. Ages 3-7.

    Perfect start to the holiday season. I bought this for my kids a few years ago and it has become a classic in our home. They love, I love it and we always read it at halloween even though they can read by themselves. I will cherish this for the memories it has created in our home.

    This book is adorable. I love big eyes on all the people and critters - very cute.

    The lesson is important - don't judge a book by it's cover. A good read for parents and teachers alike!

    The formatting is odd and makes it annoying to read but the stories are cute. Like the pictures too. Wish it was better formatted.

    Mitzi is a witch who is on a quest for the perfect pet. She goes to a special pet shop that sells creepy pets. After all she is a witch, a normal pet just won't do! She finds a great shop filled with creepy pets like worms, bats, and toads. She tries a few out but they just don't seem to be good friends for hr. One night Mitzi hears something scratching at the door. She opens it to find a cute kitten. At first she thinks that she can't have such a "cute" pet. But the kitten turns out to be a great friend for her and she keep the cat for her pet!

    What did you like or not like about the book?

    The book was short and easy to read. This could be read for Haolloween to small kids. It's not scary at all!

    Would you recommend this book? Why or Why not?

    Yes we would. This is a great book that can lead to discussions on friendship, pets, or Halloween

    I love the illustrations in this book. They are very striking, colourful, and unusual. I wanted a book for a 6 year old girl that had all the Halloween aspects without being too scary. This is all that and more. I also liked that the actual size of the book was a bit larger than usual, it somehow made it feel even more special.
