Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Older Hero Mouse : [chuckles]  All right, then. Where were we? Oh, yeah. That's right. Now, I remember. A note about witches. See, here's the thing about them: they're real! Witches are as real as a rock in your shoe. That's the first thing you need to know. The second thing you need to know, they're here! And they live amongst us... side by side, with humans. In every big city in every small town. For all you know, a witch might be living right next door to you right now. They're everywhere! A witch might be a nurse, or your teacher, and you can bet your sweet patootie that friendly, little old lady on the bus offering you a delicious piece of saltwater taffy is a witch. And here's the most important thing, the most important thing: Witches hate children! A witch spends all her time thinking up ways to destroy children. That's all she thinks about: "How will I squish this horrible child?" A witch gets the same pleasure from squishing a child as you get from eating a bowl of ice cream covered in butterscotch syrup, with whipped cream, chopped nuts and a cherry on top.
