Room on the Broom is a beloved children's picture book from the unparalleled creators of The Gruffalo, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This witty, rhyming story follows a kind witch and her loyal cat as they happily soar through the night on a broomstick. When a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow, and wand, a helpful dog, a thoughtful bird, and a clever frog retrieve the lost items and eagerly ask for a ride. The more the merrier becomes the motto, but a broomstick can only carry so much before it snaps in two. What follows is a suspenseful yet heartwarming turn of events when a hungry dragon comes looking for a snack, and the witch's new friends must think fast to save her.

This special book and CD edition features a stunning redesigned cover and a lively read-aloud narration by actress Josie Lawrence, making it a standout choice for story time. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers, Room on the Broom blends fantasy, humor, and a gentle message about inclusion and quick thinking. It has become a modern classic in children's literature, ranking among the bestselling picture books from MacMillan Children's Books and standing proudly alongside other Donaldson/Scheffler treasures like The Snail and the Whale, The Smartest Giant in Town, and A Squash and a Squeeze.

With its engaging verse, delightful animal characters, and a touch of magic and dragon-filled suspense, Room on the Broom is an essential addition to any young child's library. Whether as a bedtime read or a Halloween favorite, this story encourages teamwork and celebrates friendship in a way that delights both children and adults.
