Books by Daryl Cobb

Greta's Magical Mistake is magical and "Kirkus Reviews says, "With simple rhymes and a gentle spirit, veteran children’s author Daryl Cobb offers an enjoyable story of a witch-in-training whose good intentions go awry." 

 "Greta, an apprentice witch, waves her wand and tries a spell—and accidentally zaps Hamlet (Her new cat) into a painting of sunflowers. She asks her talking magic book for help, and it responds, “What is it now! / Did you turn your mom / into a dog, or the / dog into a cow?” Unfortunately, Greta doesn’t listen to the spell book’s instructions carefully enough, and transports herself, Ray and Dew into the painting. This pleasant, engaging story provides valuable messages about friendship and the importance of good listening. Artist Pentangelo’s colorful, playfully skewed images underscore the text’s comical tone."
