234B: A witch flies on a vacuum

A children’s book about a witch (probably with red hair) that befriends a young girl next door.  The book has illustrations that are very bright. The witch dresses like a gypsy and flies on a vacuum. Only the girl knows she’s a witch. It’s not The Wednesday Witch, The Witch Next Door or The Witch Down the Hall. The witch is friendly. The book is 15-20 years old. It was a large book probably 10cm wide and 30cm tall.

      Do you remember if it was ONLY about a witch? There is a children’s book that I absolutely loved growing up that has the picture you describe. But it was called “Spooky Riddles” and every page had a different silly riddle about a vampire, witch, etc….The author is Marc Brown.

        That’s not it. Thank you so much for trying! I really would love to find it.

        It was all about the witch and the young girl next door. And the witch didn’t dress like a Halloween witch, more like a gypsy.

      It’s not that one. Thank you for trying though!

      The witch is not open about being a witch, only the young girl knows. And I don’t think it mentions Halloween at all, but I may have just forgotten that part.

    One of Margery Palatini’s Witch books–Room on the Broom is the only title coming to mind at the moment, but there are several more.

    I was looking for a book with a similar description. Look up “Wobble, the Witch Cat” by Mary Calhoun. I believe that’s the one I had remembered reading as a child!

    I know exactly what this is! Found your thread while searching for it, so sharing the answer here. It is Hubble Bubble: A Book of Witches and Wizards by John Patience. The witch on the vacuum is just one of the stories in it. Love love loved this book as a child.
