Only a Witch Can Fly by Alison McGhee

2.0

I was so taken with the artistic style in this book that I really, really wanted to like it. Alas, that was not the case. The rhyming scheme grated on me and I felt like it was a book for grownups masquerading as a child's book. Not in terms of content; the content was perfectly suited for a child's book. The writing was just at a very strange level. The words themselves we kept simplistic but the cadence of the rhyming pattern was not easy to follow and the balance of words on each page was too heavy for readers as young as the small words would appeal too, but too small for older readers.
