Product Description

The Children's Bookseller, 20 September 2002
Very funny

The Independent, December 16, 2001
These rollicking rhymes explore the virtue of co-operation. We loved it. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to make you chuckle night after night!, 19 April 2006
By Susana Sassi "susanita001" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book a few weeks ago for our little boy of 18 months. I guess if I were to have thought more about it I would have waited a couple of years (a witch and a monster are both mentioned) I am glad I didn't though! He doesn't know what a witch is but he loves the rhymes and even taps the book now for the "taps the broomstick" bit. It is a very well paced story with a lot of characters that even the youngest reader/listener will recognise (cat, dog, bird, frog) and the rhyming is hilarious.
There are few books that our little one will sit through without squirming and getting bored. THis is the longest book by far that I read to him and he is hooked from start to finish. I will certainly be buying more by the same author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler, 21 Jan 2005
By J. E. Davidson (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Room on the Broom Board Book (Board book)
Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler seem to produce fantastic book after fantastic book and this is one of the very, very best.

My son (nearly 4) and I love this book - he never seems to tire of hearing it and I certainly have not tired of reading it.

As usual the illustrations are fantastic and the story is great to read aloud - written with a wonderful sense of rhyme and rhythm making great use of repetition.

Love it

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant fun!, 18 May 2006
By Carol Scott (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the story of a good-natured witch and her contented, purring, cat flying through the air on a broomstick without a care in the world - until the wind blows away the witch's hat. When they fly down to retrieve the hat, a polite, helpful dog brings it to them and becomes another passenger on the broom. Throughout the book they also pick up a bird and a frog, making the broom very overcrowded. Then disaster strikes; the broom snaps in two causing the witch to become separated from her friends and a potential meal to a large red dragon.

This is an extremely eye catching and appealing book aimed at preschool and lower primary school children. Donaldson and Schefflers story and illustrations work extremely well together to capture children's attention right from the start of the book. The use of illustration mixed through the large, bold, font makes it seem friendly to a beginner reader. But this is essentially a book for sharing, the use of repetition throughout the story encourages children to join in the reading and the book appeals to their sense of humour with comical allusions:"I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea". Julia Donaldson has also made a song to accompany the book that children can enjoy singing and performing to.

This is a fantastic book and I cannot recommend it enough.
