Witch color by number is a fun and interactive activity for children. It combines the concept of coloring by numbers with a Halloween theme. The activity typically involves a coloring sheet with a witch design, divided into various sections, each assigned a number. Children are then instructed to color each section according to the corresponding number, using a specific color. This activity not only helps children develop their coloring skills but also enhances their number recognition and matching abilities. It provides a structured and guided approach to coloring, making it easier for young children who may still be developing their fine motor skills.
Each chapter is for a certain fish, other than a chapter for shellfish that are lumped together (no pun intended). The chapters start with a "what's in the tin" page that's helpful to know whether you need to pull out bones or deal with skins or anything, and how.
I was also hoping for more sauces using fish like anchovies for flavor and health benefits without being the stars or being obvious for family members like kids who may balk at ingredients like sardines. Brooklyn chef McDade makes a strong case that tinned fish is the ultimate game-changing protein in his excellent debut, arguing that preserved fish can be just as, if not more, versatile and delicious than their fresh counterparts.
It provides a structured and guided approach to coloring, making it easier for young children who may still be developing their fine motor skills. Witch color by number is a popular choice during the Halloween season, as it allows children to engage in a festive activity while also working on important skills. It can be a great addition to classroom activities or as a fun project at home.

Reviews"A comprehensive introduction to the original fast food–shelf-stable seafood packed in olive oil. With an eye toward convenience, sustainability and deliciousness, Mr. McDade guides readers through the world of canned seafood options by way of thoughtful recipes and helpful tips for what to look for and expect from each can."
–The New York Times
"A must for anyone who has a can of seafood and a box of pasta in their cupboards, and potentially the definitive American cookbook on tinned fish."
–La Cucina Italiana
"The Magic of Tinned Fish conjures extraordinarily delicious dishes. . . . The book is an enlightening and very useful compendium. . . . You'll learn how to clean a salted anchovy; why you should only buy fish packed in oil, not water (much tastier); and why small fish, like anchovies and sardines, are better for the environment (they regenerate faster, in larger numbers, and contain less mercury than the bigger varieties). . . . You'll discover the anticipatory pleasure of having a fresh new stash of versatile, creative, healthy, sustainable, and easy to prepare ingredients on your shelf, ready to use with the turn of a can-opener. But mostly, The Magic of Tinned Fish will help you learn to love your pantry again."
–Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Tap[s] into the versatility and downright sophistication of tinned seafood. From the simplest applications . . . to po' boys, mussel salads and savory dressings, the cookbook is full of details about each fish. We love the What's In The Tin feature, which offers a mental picture of what to expect.
–Dallas Morning News
"Beautiful and informative."
–Montreal Gazette
"Tinned fish isn't only practical; it's delicious. Chris McDade profiles the versatility of tinned fish that has turned this ardent fisherman into a fan."
–Tom Colicchio, Chef/Owner, Crafted Hospitality
"Chef Chris McDade has successfully decoded the beauty of tinned fish, taking the reader on a flavor odyssey of tradition and preservation. This book's thorough research and classic recipes are simply inspiring in their complex homage to this time-honored process."
–Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, Chefs/Owners, State Bird Provisions, The Progress, and The Anchovy Bar
"Brooklyn chef McDade makes a strong case that tinned fish is the ultimate game-changing protein in his excellent debut, arguing that preserved fish 'can be just as, if not more, versatile and delicious than their fresh counterparts." French, Spanish, and U.S. influences inform the collection, which highlights all types of tinned seafood–from sardines and shellfish to squid and octopus–and how best to prepare each (some salted anchovies, for instance, need to first be soaked in cold water). The anchovy is showcased in a simple yet satisfying anchovies, bread, and butter snack, then moves to a 'supporting role' in a dish of grilled broccoli, pistachios, and Green Goddess dressing that offers a delightful punch with blended herbs and jalapeno. A celebratory presentation of sardines on a board suggests mixing cans of different-flavored sardines along with various complementary nibbles such as olives, almonds, potato chips, and spicy mustard, and breakfast gets its due with smoked trout and scrambled eggs on an everything bagel with horseradish. Meanwhile, a zesty celery and octopus salad makes a delicious case for branching outside one's traditional tinned go-tos. Thanks to McDade's assured guidance, those curious about this understated pantry staple will have no trouble diving in. Salty and satisfying, these recipes hit the spot."

I sometimes like to browse cooking books although I do not cook much. This title caught my eye because I imagine it would be hard to make tinned fish a good meal. I do eat them sometimes with lemon and bread but that's about it. I was impressed by the ideas presented here and I hope to cook more with this underappreciated way to conserve fish.

Reviews for "Witch Color by Number: The Perfect Activity for Witches and Wizards"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed in "Witch Color by Number". The concept seemed fun, but the execution was lacking. The colors were all very dull and uninteresting, and the overall design was lackluster. The numbers were also too small and hard to see, making it difficult to accurately color in the image. I was hoping for a more immersive and engaging coloring experience, but unfortunately, this game fell short.
2. Emily - 1 star - I would not recommend "Witch Color by Number" at all. The app constantly froze on my phone, making it nearly impossible to complete even one coloring page. The limited options for colors were also a major drawback. Additionally, the ads were incredibly intrusive and popped up every few seconds, disrupting the flow of the game. Overall, this app was a waste of my time and it failed to deliver on its promises.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - As an avid fan of coloring apps, I was really disappointed with "Witch Color by Number". The designs were very basic and repetitive, lacking creativity. The controls were also very clunky and not user-friendly, making it frustrating to fill in the colors. The lack of variety in color choices was another drawback, as it limited my creativity and made the coloring process monotonous. Overall, there are much better coloring apps available that provide a more enjoyable and seamless experience.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I found "Witch Color by Number" to be quite underwhelming. The quality of the pictures was mediocre at best, with pixelation and blurry details. The colors also didn't match the pictures accurately, resulting in a disappointing end result. The lack of options for customizing the colors and designs was another drawback, as it made the app feel repetitive and limited. I would recommend exploring other coloring apps that offer a better range of features and higher-quality designs.
