在這本以魔法為主題的美麗繪本裡,作者告訴我們「作為朋友」的真正意義。

小女巫獨自住在神秘的山上,她實在太孤單,很想要一個朋友,於是她翻開魔法書,找出製造朋友的咒語。這需要一至兩個的蜘蛛網、蜥蜴耳垢、海盜的靴子、暴風雪的雪花和獨眼泰迪熊最後一根毛髮。萬事俱備,就是欠了獨眼泰迪熊的毛髮,她透過水晶球發現了這隻熊的所在,即坐上掃把飛去。

這時獨眼泰迪熊正被一名女孩抱著,小女巫向她索取泰迪熊,然而,這泰迪熊是小女孩最要好的朋友,無論睡覺、玩耍、看書,他們都在一起,但沒有了這隻泰迪熊,小女巫的咒語就無法實現,看見小女巫失落的樣子,女孩最終會同意讓小女巫帶走泰迪熊嗎?

透過這溫馨的故事,兩個小女孩認識到朋友的真正意義,陪伴、分享、友愛,不用任何咒語,都可以成為好朋友。
