The Witch's Walking Stick Tapa dura - 2005

de Susan Meddaugh

Poor Margaret is waking up to another bad day. Ever since her parents died, her brother and sister have made her sweep the floors, chop the wood, cook the meals, feed the pigs, and anything else they can think to demand. Selfish, mean, and twice as big as Margaret, they always get their way. When at last Margaret has had enough, she runs away into the forest. Just as she is wondering how she will survive, she comes upon an old lady with a very sad story: a dog has run off with her walking stick, and she can’t do a thing without it. When the old lady promises Margaret a reward of three gold coins for its safe return, the girl readily agrees. Little does Margaret know that the old lady is really a witch, her reward a trick, and her walking stick a magic stick the witch has used to make a thousand miserable wishes come true . . .


Resumen

Poor Margaret is waking up to another bad day. Ever since her parents died, her brother and sister have made her sweep the floors, chop the wood, cook the meals, feed the pigs, and anything else they can think to demand. Selfish, mean, and twice as big as Margaret, they always get their way. When at last Margaret has had enough, she runs away into the forest. Just as she is wondering how she will survive, she comes upon an old lady with a very sad story: a dog has run off with her walking stick, and she can’t do a thing without it. When the old lady promises Margaret a reward of three gold coins for its safe return, the girl readily agrees. Little does Margaret know that the old lady is really a witch, her reward a trick, and her walking stick a magic stick the witch has used to make a thousand miserable wishes come true . . .

Reseñas en medios

"Meddaugh sets her tale in the kind of archetypically bucolic landscape where magic of the stouter sort happens, with dramatically effective contrasts between full-page pictures of the witch's looming woods and spaciously set spot illustrations of Margaret getting the better of her bossy older sister and brother.Wishing for a good read-aloud? You've got it." --Horn Book, starred Horn Book, Starred

"Illustrated with watercolor and ink in a style that will put readers in mind of William Steig, Meddaugh’s dry, quirky tale of the “little guy” triumphing over adversity will have children smiling and cheering." --School Library Journal School Library Journal

"This droll original fairy tale treats timeless themes of injustice and comeuppance. . . . Younger siblings will particularly sympathize with the deceptively tiny Margaret, and cheer her on as she exacts her fierce, gleeful vengeance upon her oh-so-deserving elders." --Booklist Booklist, ALA

"If the masterly execution of 'The Witch's Walking Stick' is anything to go by, Susan Meddaugh's work is rising to a new level. I suspect that for decades to come her books will be the recipient of that greatest honor: children asking their parents to read favorites like "Martha Speaks" or "The Witch's Walking Stick" -- and then read them again and again." --New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review Notable Book
