This is a book from my childhood that is a lot of fun. I used to read it at Halloween time although it's not actually about the holiday. It's about a boy whose mom is quite eccentric. Although she's never called a witch in the text, the pictures portray her as such. His mom doesn't fit in with his classmates' parents, in fact they call her names and don't let their kids hang out at their house. The boy is ashamed and wishes his mom were normal. But when a fire breaks out at school, his mom saves the day and the other parents realize she's ok afterall. This is a funny book with a good message to not judge people who are different.
