Grandson loved this book! Very cute!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. 🧹💜 It has been a favorite in our house for years and somehow my kids never get tired of it. The rhymes are so fun to read out loud, the illustrations are bright and whimsical, and the story has that perfect mix of sweet and just a little spooky that makes it extra magical around Halloween. 🎃👻The witch and her cat pick up friends along the way and my kids always giggle at the silly moments and cheer at the happy ending. It is such a heartwarming story about kindness, friendship and teamwork, all wrapped up with a flying broomstick and a friendly dragon. 🐉✨It has become a bedtime classic but honestly we pull it out year round because the kids love chanting along with the rhymes. It is also short enough to read before bed without turning into “one more story” negotiations, yet still feels like a full adventure. 💤📚If you want a read aloud that your kids will ask for again and again, and one that you will not mind reading on repeat, this one is pure magic. Highly recommend for ages 2 to 6, but honestly it is a hit for kids and parents alike. 💛Helpful tip: There is also a short animated film based on this book that is just as charming and makes for a fun watch after reading together. 🎥

I'm so lucky because my five-and-a-half year old twins LOVE books and that makes me so happy! I heard of this story through school and we checked it out from our local library. My twins love it so much that I figured it can't hurt to have our own copy at home!Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson is a wonderful children's Halloween book that is good for children of all ages! It's a cute story about a witch who is flying her broom and ends up picking up extra passengers along the way. I don't want to give away the story because no synopsis of it can do this story justice! You'll just want to read it for yourself! This story rhymes so it's perfect for all children, especially ones who are learning to read. This story is also popular in classrooms and follows a beautiful rhyming pattern. The pictures are colorful and beautifully drawn by Axel Scheffler. This book contains 24 pages. I purchased the paperback version and it's very nicely made. The ages for this story are four to eight and I feel even children a little younger will enjoy it.Room on the Broom is a new household favorite and I'm so happy we bought our own copy! I was talking with a number of parents about this story and everyone has such wonderful things to say about it. Just buy it because you won't be disappointed!

My husband has always had a hard time reading out loud, he stumbled on words a lot and was a slow awkward reader. With the arrival of our daughter, he put forth the effort anyways! (Love this man!)The books by this author have been amazing for BOTH him and and her! The flow of the writing is just challenging enough to read, that it gets the gears in an adult mind turning (how many toddler books do that!?) The words, the poetry.... just very well written, with a hint of challenge to it.This is NOT a "Cat went for a walk. Cat took a nap." Type of overly simplified book. But rather a truely artful story with a plot and a moral at the end!Since reading this, and the other authors books, regularly to our daughter, I've noticed a huge improvement in my husband's ability to read aloud! He doesn't get near as tongue tied, or confused anymore. The words flow fairly naturally as he reads them now. He enjoys the stories in these books too! Especially this one. He likes that the witch is nice to everyone and in the end it pays off because they all are able to band together to help her. He explains to our daughter every time he reads it, how important it is to be nice etc.And of course our daughter LOVES this story as well! She's read the book with us probably a hundred times and seen the movie a hundred more. She loves the animals (naturally) especially the frog. And likes to pretend she is the witch and uses her stick horse as her "broom"Really just an all around great book, great writing, great moral, great way to spend family time!

3 days with this book and my kids have had me read it at least 30 times. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE this book, and honestly I like reading it myself. Lol. It rhymes so good it's fun to animatedly read it to my kiddos. 7, 4 and 2 year old approved. Buy it! You will not regret it!

Darling story.Great message. Absolutely love it! Love this author.
