A modern, young witch hosts a TV cooking show, “Bewitching Kitchen!”, and the featured recipe is Frog Soup. However, the last ingredient, a spoonful of frogs, are not cooperative. Instead they lead the witch on a chase around the kitchen, through the town, and eventually into a pond! Back in the kitchen, the battered witch advices that pickles are an acceptable substitute for frogs. A hilarious story in which Brosgol’s comic book-style digital illustrations adds much to a story that uses few words. In fact, if the reader does not pay attention to the pictures, they may miss much of the story. For this reason, a guided reading would make this a good choice for Story Time, especially at Halloween.
