My Heckedy Peg by Audrey Wood Review
Here is the synopsis... "A mother saves her seven children, each the name of a day of the week, from the witch Heckedy Peg - a witch who turns children into different foods. When the mother goes to market, she leaves her seven children at home, warning them not to open the door to strangers. Unfortunately, children are tricked into opening the door for Heckedy Peg, a horrible witch....
Can the mother rescue her children from the witch's curse before the witch eats them for dinner? The mother can rescue their children only by guess which child is fish, rib roast, bread, etc.
This original story reads like a pure folktale. It is beautifully illustrated with oil paintings.
