Mitzi is a city witch-she likes pizza and plays, crowded subways and noisy streets. Muffletump is a country witch-she prefers hayrides and fresh air, pumpkin picking and her pet snake. When the cousins visit each other, their differences come between them. How can they solve their problem? With a spell, of course! But finding the right one isn't so easy. The rhyming text makes this a wonderful read-aloud, while the vibrant watercolor and colored-pencil artwork contains fantastically funny details for kids to pore over.

"What an absolutely delightful spin on the beloved City Mouse/Country Mouse tale! City witch Mitzi and country witch Muffletump will captivate kids, parents and grandparents alike with their creative efforts to make their friendship succeed. The illustrations are among the most ingenious I've ever seen in a children's book. No matter how many visits I made to each page, I discovered yet another new and enchanting detail. (Don't miss the "Broomingdale's" store and the "Fed Hex" delivery truck!) The witches who "star" in this book make it great Halloween reading, but it's sure to fly year round."

"We loved this book. Wendy Wax created a new twist on an old and beloved story. We absolutely loved the illustrations by Scott Gilbala-Broxholm.
He creates pictures that not only tell the story, they also have hidden, humorus themes in each picture that make both children and adults laugh. To be recommended to kids of all ages!"

"I love this book and so do my kids. It's an adorable take on the city mouse/country mouse theme, with fun, quirky characters (my daughter finds it hilarious that a witch can have allergies!), great illustrations, and lots of magical surprises. Plus, it's refreshing to have a Halloween story that's not about candy."
