Something cranky this way comes...
It's "the witching hour", with the emphasis on "witching", and it's about getting a crying, cranky baby to sleep, told through a witchy aesthetic and lens, and I adore it for it.
'The Witching Hour' is a witchy family picture book that has lovely art, nature, a hollow tree house, cats, rabbits, bats, spiders, owls, woodpeckers, mice, fairies, brooms, herbs, puppets, pink poodles, the crescent moon, two witch mums with bulbs, fruits and acorns for hats, and a helpful (similarly hatted) older sibling for the crying baby at the witching hour.
I love the aesthetic the most, and the idea is charming all on its own.
It's a cosy and familiar little fantasy book, for children and parents. There definitely could have been more to it, but I like it as it is.
'Anything can happen in the witching hour.'
Hooray for LBGTQ+ witch family books, for the holiday seasons - Halloween and Xmas, and every equinox!
Final Score: 3.5/5
