Room on the Broom: A rhyming story of friendship from the creators of The Gruffalo

Room on the Broom is a beloved children's picture book series that captures the magic of friendship and teamwork through the delightful rhyming story of a kind-hearted witch and her animal companions. In this whimsical adventure, the witch and her cat set off on a breezy broomstick ride until a stormy wind scatters her hat, bow, and wand. A dog, a bird, and a frog retrieve the lost items and eagerly join the flight, but the overloaded broom soon snaps, leaving them stranded and face-to-face with a hungry dragon. Through quick wits and cooperation, the animals save the day, proving that kindness and clever thinking make any journey better.

Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, the acclaimed duo behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom has become a modern classic for young readers. The rhythmic verses and vibrant artwork make it an ideal read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children, while its gentle humor and heartwarming message of inclusion resonate with families. This edition features a stunning redesigned cover and joins a treasured collection of Donaldson and Scheffler picture books, including The Gruffalo’s Child and The Snail and the Whale, making it a must-have for any children’s library.
