Room on the Broom

In the first volume of the Room on the Broom: A rhyming story of friendship from the creators of The Gruffalo series, a friendly witch and her cat enjoy a breezy flight on their broomstick. A sudden gust of wind sweeps away the witch’s hat, bow, and wand, but helpful animals - a dog, a bird, and a frog - recover each item and eagerly request a ride. The broom becomes overloaded and snaps under the weight.

When a hungry dragon threatens the witch, her new animal companions must think fast to save her. Julia Donaldson’s playful rhyming text, paired with Axel Scheffler’s expressive illustrations, creates a lively story of cooperation and quick wits. This children’s picture book blends animal characters with fantasy and magic, appealing to fans of juvenile fiction and stories in verse.
