"Winnie Flies Again" By Korky Paul And Valerie Thomas (published by Oxford University Press 1999) - Part 2



 Another one of Korky Paul's zany books - and I've got quite a few! The plot is simple enough: Winnie the witch is losing her grip when riding her broom and bumps into various things with terrifying results. And while in despair, trying to figure out what's going wrong with her broom she runs into an optician! Check out the pirate below testing out a new pair of glasses and the eccentric optician herself below that. Great characters and a very funny story. Every page is full of "visual" jokes, many embedded in the fine details of the artist's amazing illustrations.
