The Worst Witch and The Wishing Star by Jill Murphy
Mildred, notoriously the worst witch at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, makes a wish on a shooting star - and to her great surprise it comes true! But it also spells trouble. Mildred's wish-come-true is a small dog but she has to keep him a secret from her friends, and especially the formidable Miss Hardbroom.
A hugely entertaining story with wonderful illustrations, too-- Julia Eccleshare * Lovereading4Kids *
