This interesting story is about a witch and her Aunt Aggie. The two of them could not get on well with each other because Mini Winnie was not impressed with her aunt that wants to change her complete image as well as that of her cat. Her aunt eventually achieved to change her into what she wanted her to be, and her cat into a rabbit to her dismay. She, Minnie Winnie also wished by waving her wand to change her aunt but she changed herself into a baby by having a wish but of wrong wording. Her aunt seems she could never take her as a witch or a baby if ever she could, it doesn’t seems like it.

But to her delightment, her dearest cat assisted her through his special trick with the wand back to her normal self with her aunt out of the picture now. Then she could bring her cat back to normal self from the rabbit curse. The moral of the story is that you should not try and change other people it may back fire on you.

Definitely would I advise my age group kids to read this interesting story and anybody that loves reading because if it could capture my imagination it could do it to anybody.
