Book Review: The Witch of Blackbird Pond
Sure this is a book for early teens, but the Washington Post screams, “Irresistible!” I was somehow able to resist it for 36 and a half years of my life, but that’s not the point. It is a pretty good book and tackles some heady 17th century Connecticut subjects.
What’s interesting about Blackbird Pond is that it sort of flows very nicely from Sarah Vowell’s The Wordy Shipmates (CTMQ review here). It takes place right around the same time as the Pequot War and some other stuff in Shipmates. The witch of the title is a banished Quaker – something touched on in the other book.
But mostly, we learn here about Puritanical intolerance coupled with early self-governance in the colonies. The book was inspired by the Buttolph-Williams House in Wethersfield and takes place in that town. Old Saybrook has a part in both the book as well. Speare mixes in historical figures with her fictional ones and does it smoothly.
Blah, blah, blah – the book is about an outsider; a girl from Barbados – who comes to live with her extended family in Connecticut and is branded a witch by some locals merely because she has nice clothes and can swim and read. Oh, and she play-acts too. Oogity Boogity. Of course Kit, that’s the girl, is only helping and educating and trying to have a little fun in the stifling town. I don’t have to tell you that it all works out in the end since it’s a kid’s book.
Definitely a fun read for people like me interested in our history. Do what I did and couple it with a visit to the Buttolph-Williams house in Old Wethersfield. It makes for a richer experience.

Reviews for "The Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube: An introduction to classical music"
- Sarah - 1 star
I found the content on the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube YouTube channel to be quite boring and repetitive. They only seem to have a limited number of videos, and they all follow the same formula of showcasing different colors and sounds of the cube. It quickly became monotonous and my child lost interest within a few minutes. I was also disappointed with the lack of educational value in the videos. Overall, I would not recommend this channel for any parent looking for engaging and educational content for their toddlers.
- Ryan - 2 stars
While the concept of the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube YouTube channel is interesting, the execution falls short. The videos are poorly edited, with awkward transitions and unnecessary animations that only seem to distract from the main focus of the cube itself. Additionally, I found the background music to be quite loud and repetitive, making it difficult to enjoy the videos. It would have been better if the channel creators had put more effort into explaining the features and benefits of the cube, rather than relying solely on visuals and sound effects. Overall, I was disappointed with the lackluster content and presentation of this channel.
- Jessica - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube YouTube channel, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The videos lacked a clear structure or purpose, making them feel random and inconsistent. The channel also did not offer any engaging storytelling or interactive elements, which made it difficult for my child to stay focused or entertained. Additionally, I found the repetitive nature of the videos to be quite tedious, and it seemed like the creators were more interested in filling up the video length rather than providing valuable content. Overall, I was unimpressed with this channel and would not recommend it to other parents looking for quality toddler entertainment.
