A boy with three witches living in his closet is always careful to shut the door before going to bed in this rhyming picture-book caper, but on Halloween night he is so tired out that he forgets. Out come the witches - one fat, one small and one tall and thin - and they proceed to play with, and break, every one of his toys, and to raid his Halloween candy. When their play leads them outside without their brooms, and they can't get back up to his room, the boy throws their belongings after them, and evicts them forever...
Originally published in 1971, with artwork by Tony Walton, Witches' Holiday was republished in 1997 with new illustrations by Tricia Tusa. It is the third witchy picture-book, after The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches and Zena and the Witch Circus, that I have read from author Alice Low. The rhyming text here is fun, and would make for a good seasonal read-aloud, while the eponymous witches are more annoying than frightening. The artwork alternates between vibrantly colorful two-page spreads, and black-and-white ones, and has a quirky, humorous quality that is very appealing. All in all, this was a nice little Halloween adventure, full of witchy fun, and is one I would recommend to picture-book readers looking for the same. ( )
