Welcome to the wonderful world of Winnie the Witch and her long-suffering cat, Wilbur. There's the time that a small lost dragon stumbles into Winnie's house after midnight - he's boisterous and fiery and Wilbur is not sure about him at all. There's plenty to celebrate as Winnie's birthday approaches but will the day go according to plan? Probably not! And, if that were not enough, there's the time that poor Wilbur is carried off by a flying carpet with a mind of its own and Winnie has to follow in hot pursuit as the carpet takes Wilbur on a series of adrenalin-rush fairground rides.
