Like its predecessor, which chronicles these witchy youngsters' madcap adventures in a park, The Witch's Children and the Queen features the same kind of well-intentioned spells gone wrong, usually through inability to reverse them. The narrative is entertaining and humorous, with some particularly clever bits - as when the ensorcelled soldiers declare that they are "in a jam!" - and a clever solution that emphasizes the seemingly all-seeing nature of maternal authority. Knowing that they must do something prohibited, in order to draw the witch's attention, and get her to come flying to the rescue, each youngster does what it knows it should not. The artwork by Russell Ayto, with its use of color, and its stylized figures (whether elongated or dumpy), matches the zany atmosphere of the adventure perfectly. I found myself enjoying this second outing with the mischievous witchy trio even more than the first, and hope to track down the third, and thus far final volume, The Witch's Children Go to School, as soon as possible!
