Little Johnny Buttermilk — Jan Wahl

Johnny Buttermilk's work is never done. Every day he carries pails of milk to market for his mother. Every day he is set upon by the witch who wants to steal the milk. And every day he must think of some fresh plan to outwit her. Enough is enough. How can he be done with her once and for all? Johnny devises a plan to turn the witch's mischief back on herself. Jennifer Mazzucco's vibrant acrylic illustrations capture the cat-and-mouse contest contained in this traditional folktale from the British Isles.
