Overview
Meet Winnie the Witch and her big black cat Wilbur in this joyful 16-book paperback collection from Valerie Thomas and illustrator Korky Paul. Since Winnie the Witch first delighted readers in 1987, the pair have starred in one hilarious mishap after another, from wobbly spells to runaway broomsticks. Each story is a short, self-contained picture book bursting with bold, busy artwork and warm humor that rewards repeat readings. Ideal for read-aloud time or early independent reading practice, this collection introduces young readers to one of Britain's best-loved picture book duos in one giftable set.

About the Books
Many children fall in love with reading through characters they want to visit again and again — and Winnie the Witch has been exactly that kind of character since her first appearance in 1987. Valerie Thomas's stories follow Winnie, a scatterbrained but big-hearted witch who lives in a black house with her equally black cat, Wilbur. The trouble is, Winnie keeps losing track of Wilbur against all that blackness, and her well-meaning magical fixes tend to spiral into delightfully chaotic new problems. Korky Paul's illustrations are dense, funny, and endlessly rewarding to pore over, packed with sight gags, hidden details, and Winnie's unmistakable stripy-socked energy on every page. This 16-book set brings together some of the pair's most memorable adventures, sending Winnie and Wilbur broomstick-riding through storms, hunting a runaway robot, meeting a baby dragon at midnight, decorating pumpkins, sailing under the sea, and zooming off on a flying carpet. Each book is a complete, bite-sized story, making the set perfect for bedtime or classroom read-alouds. The stories gently explore friendship, problem-solving, and the idea that even magical mistakes can be fixed with a little cleverness and kindness. Because every title stands on its own, children can dip into the collection in any order, discovering favorites and revisiting them again and again. For families building a home library or teachers stocking a classroom shelf, this bundle offers reliable, funny, beautifully illustrated stories that have introduced generations of children to picture books.
