The third short story focuses on three meadow mushrooms in a clearing and the silly stories that they imagine, which includes a hippo that goes to school. The fourth short story is about a sprig of parsley that runs away from a factory, ends up on a fishing boat, and narrowly escapes being eaten in a sandwich. The fifth short story is about a carrot that finds itself being used as a nose for a snowman before falling into a drain. The sixth story is about a turnip that causes havoc in the village by rolling down the street, through the park, into the church and bakers. The seventh story is about a pea that was grown on Phoebe's granddad's allotment. The eighth story is about a tomato that goes missing and ends up in a letter box.

The final story is about a cauliflower that doesn't like being on display at the harvest festival in the local church. The cauliflower decides to have some fun and to disrupt the goings on. These stories, which are also available as audio books, can be read by parents to young children or, alternatively, listened to by children of any age.

  Arianwyn is a fully qualified witch now, but somehow magic doesn’t feel any easier than it did in her apprentice days. The Hex has driven all manner of supernatural creatures out of the Great Wood and into her little town—some benign, others dark, and others downright mischievous. The Spellorium has never been so busy! 
   
  What’s more, the High Elder has set her a dangerous secret mission. With Gimma acting weirder than usual and her friendships crumbling under pressure, Arianwyn faces the toughest spell of her witching career. Can she really see it through alone?
