'The original is the best' is a phrase which is often said and here this could not be truer. Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul have created a story which has stood the test of time beautifully. The story of Winnie and Wilbur will be just as enticing for children today as when it was first written.
Winnie and Wilbur creates wonderful discussions about colour and contrast, relationships and compromise, even design. I have always loved seeing the houses that children would design for Winnie and clothes that they would design for Wilbur so that he was not black!
It is wonderful to see the additional sections of this book. Winnie and Wilbur have had so many wonderful adventures over the years and it is fascinating to see what they feel are their favourite parts. If you haven't read this story before don't waste any more time. This is an absolute classic and belongs in every child's repertoire, every classroom books case and to be regularly read at bedtime. If this is already a favourite, please check out the additional sections by Valerie and Korky, it is brilliant. World Book day would not be the same without Winnie the Witch. Thank you for 35 years of fun.

Reviews for "From Hogwarts to Magic Camp: The Influence of Pop Culture on the Magic Phenomenon."
1. Sam - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Take a Look at Magic Camp" as I am a big fan of magic. Unfortunately, I was left feeling disappointed. The pacing of the documentary was slow and dragged on, the interviews were lacking in depth, and there was no real structure or narrative. It felt like a series of random moments without a clear direction. Overall, it just didn't capture the magic (pun intended) that I was hoping for.
2. Emily - 3 stars - As someone who has a genuine interest in magic, I was looking forward to "Take a Look at Magic Camp." However, I found it to be underwhelming. The documentary lacked real insight into the world of magic camps and the experiences of the campers. It felt more like a surface-level overview rather than a deep dive into the subject matter. While the visuals were aesthetically pleasing, the overall content left much to be desired. It could have been a lot more engaging and informative.
3. Max - 2 stars - I have always been fascinated by magic, so when I saw "Take a Look at Magic Camp," I thought it would be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The documentary lacked a cohesive storyline and felt disjointed. The interviews with the campers were interesting, but they were too few and far between. I wanted to hear more about their experiences and the impact the camp had on them. Overall, it just didn't deliver the depth and substance that I was hoping for.
