Oh how I wish these books were around when I was a child! This adorable picture book is great for young boys who have an inkling for Witchcraft, but need to learn their ABC’s as well. Boys Are Witches Too goes through the Alphabet, from A-Z, from Apple to Zodiac, helping young boys learn to read, write, and speak, while also revealing fun facts and mysteries about the Craft, allowing the young boy to get in touch with nature, his elders, and the Craft. This book was a joy to read, even as an adult male, because there has always been a part of me when I was younger, that was different, misunderstood and other than. Boys Are Witches Too let that inner child in me enjoy being different, and also gave solace that there are others like me.
I have no critiques of this short kids book, and can’t say much else without giving it away; for that reason, I give Boys Are Witches Too a 5 out of 5. Parents, if your young boy is interested in the Craft as you are (or maybe aren’t), this book will help them learn practical things like reading, writing, the alphabet, while also quenching their thirst for knowledge of the Craft, with inspiring facts that will get them thinking like a witch in no time!
