While demonstrating a recipe for a television cooking show, a witch has a hard time preparing her brew. The final ingredient gives her tremendous trouble, hopping away instead of following the oft repeated step “Put the frogs on the spoon.” Brosgol’s hilarious digital illustrations show what starts out as a straight-forward cooking demonstration, but turns into a chaotic chase, before ending with an ingredient substitution that readers will be happy to see. A fun and amusing read for small group sharing.
