Are witches like lions in sheep clothing? A boy and his grandmother in The Witches thinks so. They have even discovered the secret to recognizing these evil beings that disguise themselves as sweet ladies. Scholars use the resource to complete sentences with vocabulary from the book, describe the setting, name the steps to recognizing a witch, and create sentences using alliteration, personification, and exaggeration.
