The witch was cursed, and now she's allergic to her cats! She sneezes and sniffles, her eyes are puffy, her temper short. Something has to be done.
The witch tinkers and tankers, collecting herbs, brewing potions.

This book reminded me of my grandmother. She had this book about a witch with the same first name as she had, and the animals living around her cottage messed around with magic so the grass was blue, the sky green, and trees... don't know any more.
But she had to fix things since this was not how it's supposed to be.
In addition, the drawing style is kind of similiar to the one found in this book. So now I am quite nostalgic after reading this one.

In the last time, when I've read a picture book, the illustrations were mostly cute while in Lizard Brew, they tend to be more on the realistic side of things, which is not bad. As I said, it feels nostalgic.

Though this is not the first in a series but rather the third book, I had no difficulty getting into it. It can be read as a standalone. I like that something every-day like allergies are the topic of this book, since I feel that it's not that often spoken about while a lot of children deal with this.

I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

Lizard Brew by Bonnie Stanard is a great tale for Halloween and the illustrations are a great addition to the story.

Hard to understand this book without first reading it's predecessor. I don't really like the dark magic that this picture book portrays. I wouldn't want to read this to small children. I do like that there is a solution and a definite ending to this book.
