5.0 out of 5 stars Such a fun and clever book!!!!, Oct 31 2001

By

Carla Loughran (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

My girls, ages two and four, love this book and so do I! It's a clever rhyme and a sweet story that teaches a subtle lesson about how doing things for others can ultimately benefit oneself. I also appreciate how everything is not spelled out for the reader and there are some portions near the end that the child has to figure out. Very clever -- my favorite Halloween book this year. Nevertheless, this book is not Halloween-specific, and is definitely appropriate for any time of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great family book, Oct 22 2010

This review is from: Room On The Broom (Paperback)

My two and a half year old daughter loves this book, and it's a great read for parents too. It's clever, fun, and the rhyming is witty and engaging. The pictures are bright and keep my little girl interested all the way through to the exciting fiery conclusion! We've read many of Julia Donaldson's other books, and in my opinion this is even better than the Gruffalo.

This review is from: Room On The Broom (Paperback)

With a soft heart for animals, this unconventional sorceress with her tiger-striped cat embark on a windy flight full of accidents - first her hat blows away, then her hair bow and then her magic wand! But thanks to helpful dog, parrot and frog that retrieve the lost items, the witch is able to keep her cheerful grin and one by one the animals plead with eloquence to ride on the broom to which the witch with well-executed rhymes, pleasantly agrees. But too many animals on board become the last straw for the broom and it snaps in half in the worst middle of a bog where the witch is captured by a fiery dragon. The animals return the witch's good deed by making a joint monster to scare the dragon and save the day. With ingredients contributed by the passengers, the sorceress conjures up the last piece of super-magic that will surprise and delight the readers' mind! Funny and friendly, ROOM ON THE BROOM offers quite a happy Halloween ride in the sky.

This was a wonderful story, with great illustrations, for my 3 1/2 and 6 year old. The good witch takes everyone aboard her broom that she comes upon, but when the broom breaks... Read more
