The Witch's Guide to Cooking with Children

When I took this book off the shelf, I didn't even bother to look at what the story was about. As it turns out, this is a modern day retelling of Hansel and Gretel. If the original story doesn't disturb you (we are talking about cannibalism here), then you'll love this book!

As a child, I never really thought about how gruesome the fairy tale was - I think I was more interested in the gingerbread house covered in candy. Somehow, reading this book it suddenly clicked for me and I found it a little creepy. Of course, it didn't bother my 5 year old at all and he couldn't wait to finish it. So, I have mixed feelings. I liked it and yet...I was a little creeped out.
