Lizzy finds a suitcase standing in front of her witch's house. She'd really love to know what's inside it. But no matter how often she repeats her magic spell to open it, the suitcase stays closed. Maybe it's a little suitcase for big witches.

Hokuspokus Hexenstich, kleiner Koffer öffne dich! Eines Tages findet Lisbet einen Koffer vor ihrem Hexenhaus. Sie möchte zu gerne wissen, was drin ist, aber so oft sie ihren Zauberspruch auch aufsagt: Der Koffer bleibt zu. Und weder die Doktorhexe noch die Reisehexe können ihr helfen, denn der Koffer ist nur für große Hexen. Das mag Lisbet nicht auf sich sitzen lassen. Und weil sie schlau ist, schafft sie es mit einem Trick, den Koffer zu öffnen. Im Inneren findet sie einen geheimnisvollen Brief. Mit einem echten Brief zum Aufklappen im Buch. Lieve Baeten kam 2001 bei einem Autounfall ums Leben. Dieses Bilderbuch war zum damaligen Zeitpunkt schon weit fortgeschritten und wurde jetzt von ihrem Sohn Wietse Fossey vollendet.

I really enjoyed “The Clever Little Witch” for many reasons. First, the pictures are absolutely beautiful. They contribute to the misty, nighttime setting the author depicts through his words perfectly. The pictures compliment the descriptions written by the author by setting the scene of the book. Secondly, I really enjoyed the style in which the author wrote the book. Unlike many of the other picture books I have read so far this one did not rhyme nor was it set up in stanzas. It was definitely a more grown up book with a complex story line, which I prefer. Lastly, I thought the story line was excellent and put a new spin on the age old lesson of “if at first you don’t succeed try again.” Throughout the book Lizzy (the main character) is trying to open a little suitcase that she found on her doorstep. Lizzy asks many people for help but they always say “it’s a little suitcase for big witches” and that Lizzy is too little to open it. Lizzy never listens to them and continues to try and open the suitcase, which she successfully does all by herself. Inside of the suitcase is a map that takes Lizzy to witch school where she is greeted by a teacher that tells her she is a big and clever witch and welcomes her into the school. Lizzy replies to the teacher by saying “Of course I’m big and clever, that’s what I’ve always been.” This is the central idea of “The Clever Little Witch.” It teaches children to keep trying at things and to not get discouraged by failure. It also teaches children to have confidence in themselves, as Lizzy does, and to never give up on something they want to succeed at. “The Clever Little Witch” is a great book with beautiful pictures, excellent writing, and a storyline with a very powerful meaning.

As the others in this series, the book consists of a story coupled with some kind of unusual cut of paper. In this book, every couple of pages has a pull out page to illustrate how a room has changed after a spell. For example, on one right hand page has a discussion with a doctor and the left hand page shows a tidy hospital room. Halfway through a spell is cast and when you open the full page sized flap, the page illustrates a chaotic mess on the double spread. One page has a letter to open.

The story is simple but cute, the drawings are absolutely adorable and the message is nice: keep trying and thinking hard. The little witch eventually figures it out and is told she's clever. She later says to herself that she has always been clever. She has healthy self-esteem.

I really enjoyed the book but in particularly my kids really loved the part in the beginning when the little witch is teaching her cat math. "One wee-wee plus another wee-wee make..." She's sitting on the toilet. The book is so matter of fact. I love books written in other countries. Here the book could be about potty but I don't recall one where the character uses taking a pee to count and then moves on.

I love it. ( )

That adventuresome little witch Lizzy, who made her picture-book debut in Lieve Baeten's The Curious Little Witch, and who has also appeared in Up and Away with the Little Witch! and Happy Birthday, Little Witch!, once again takes to the skies in The Clever Little Witch, attempting to discover the secrets of the little pink suitcase deposited on her doorstep one evening. Impervious to her opening spell - "Hocus-pocus, witch's ride, / Little suitcase, open wide!" - the suitcase remains determinedly closed (although everything else pops open), and all the witches that Lizzy consults, from the Witch Doctor at the hospital, to the Traveling Witch at the train station, inform her that it is "the little suitcase for big witches." Will Lizzy ever get the suitcase open? If and when she does, what will it reveal...?

Although it is only the fourth of Baeten's five "Little Witch" books to be translated into English - De Kerstboom Van Lotje has yet to appear, although I have high hopes that it will, this coming holiday season! - The Clever Little Witch ("Slimme Lotje" in the original Dutch) appears to be the last story written, and was published posthumously, after the author's tragic death in a car accident in 2001. Found amongst Baeten's papers, with outline illustrations that were completed by her son, Wietse Fossey, it is every bit as engaging as its predecessors, with the same charming details of story and artwork, as well as some of the same innovative paper engineering. In addition to pages that fold-out to twice the length of the book, permitting a fuller landscape view, there is a fold-out letter here, which Lizzy reads once the suitcase is opened, and which leads to a wonderful new world! I loved that the suitcase, which tantalizes our witchy heroine, eventually leads to witch school, as this points to the (potentially) enchanting nature of that institution!

All in all, a worthy addition to this wonderfully witchy series! I mourn the fact that Baeten's life was cut tragically short, both for the human tragedy of her untimely death, and for the fact that I feel that she could have created so many more tales about Lizzy (Lotje) the Little Witch. Perhaps her son will continue the series...? ( )
