When Witch's Wands Won't Work is a wonderfully creative and funny picture book that explores what happens when a witch's most important tool—her magic wand—suddenly malfunctions. The story likely follows a witch who encounters a problem (perhaps a difficult potion or a stubborn spell) and discovers that her wand is useless, forcing her to find non-magical, clever, and often chaotic solutions. Poly Bernatene’s illustrations are typically vibrant and expressive, perfectly capturing the witch’s humorous frustration. The book is a great reminder that even when things go wrong, ingenuity and a little bit of teamwork can often solve problems more effectively than magic, offering a fun lesson in resourcefulness.
