Perhaps I shouldn't review anything by the award- winning Donaldson- Scheffler team if I don't start with The Gruffalo, the most well-known of their books. But just because everyone has heard of The Gruffalo, I wanted to start with another one, and I think this one is brilliant, definitely up there with The Gruffalo itself! It's also one that a friend of mine doesn't have. I promised him this review, and I hope it convinces him to get it for his little girl.
Room on the Broom is a fantastic treatise on the value of sharing and of
having friends! A series of animals help a butterfingered witch
get her belongings back as, one by one, they fall off her broomstick, and in return she and
her cat allow them to clamber on and share a windswept ride with
them, until the broomstick becomes quite crowded and disaster strikes! Luckily, the
witch’s newfound friends are there to help her out of the sticky situation she finds herself in.
