Self-Confidence

1. When Winifred loses her memory, her friend Brian the Bat helps remind her of some of her witchy deeds. Fred is not very impressed about the things she did as a witch. Do you think she was right to feel this way? Why or why not?

2. At the end of the story, Winifred decides she’d prefer a different job. What did she do after she made this decision? Do you think she did the right thing? Why or why not?

Passion, Independent Thinking

1. Henrietta is passionate about being famous. What do you understand when we describe someone as “passionate”? Do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing? Why?

2. Do you think it would be better for Henrietta to be like all the other chickens, or for her to continue to pursue her crazy ideas? Why?

3. Do you think it’s important to be passionate about things that other people can understand? Why or why not?
