Publisher's summary

This fun family audiobook is the perfect way to start Halloween celebrations and an ideal gift book. A sweet story of quick wits and friendship from the creators of The Gruffalo!

Perfect for the changing seasons and a great way to celebrate Halloween.

The witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch's hat, then her bow, and then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.

But is there room on the broom for so many friends? And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon?

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler are the creators of many beloved picture books including The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, The Snail and the Whale, and The Spiffiest Giant in Town.

"A surefire read-aloud hit." (School Library Journal)

Critic reviews

"The wart-nosed witch and her passengers make magic that is sure to please. Effective use of brilliant colors set against well-conceived backgrounds detail the story without need for text - but with it, the story - and the broom - take off." (Kirkus Reviews)

"In this lightweight, witty story, helpful animals find "room on the broom" of a generous witch." (Publishers Weekly)

Amazing!

It's a must for people with children! The story is fun filled and entertaining for all ages. My daughter is 8 and we listen to it every night at bed time. She also has the book she reads along.

A sweet story for winding down

Sometimes when you are traveling, you need that that in-between story that let's your kiddo go from being riled up to a bit calmer. This one is it. Tell your kiddo it's got a dragon in it. Good themes of sharing and sticking up for our friends.

Always one of our favorites!

My 4-year-old daughter and I found this a few months ago on a tv streaming channel and were delighted to find it here! It never gets old and it always makes us smile.
