Room on the Broom

A beautiful story, with lovely illustrations and rhyme scheme of story telling...just strikes the right chords with kids to make them fall in love with the whole package...go ahead and buy for your little ones not only for the fun of a great story and imagery but also for learning style, schemes and enhancing vocabulary in English literature from an early age.

Loved the book! My two year olds favourite read. She is excited everytime I open the book. A sweet story about how friends can be a safety net in life or as here (spoiler) save you from Dragons. Very interactive read, love the wordings and the chance to talk in a dragon voice or a witches cackling one. Entertaining for LOs

I just randomly chanced across this book on Amazon and thought it would be wonderful for my 11-month-old. At first I thought she was probably a little too young for teh book but it still works--she loves looking at the images, and about 90% of the time will sit through a reading of the entire book! Childrens' books are as much for parents as they are for babies. I was rather bored of her old picutre and board books. This one has a cpativating story, adorable pictures, a catchy meter. It works right now for my baby and I know she will be re-reading it for years to come and taking away more meaning and enjoyment from the book each time she does. I also got gifted "The Gruffalo's Child" and it's just as lovely too! I plan to buy the Gruffalo to complete my collection.

Decent product, pictures and story match, hard pages perfect to little ones too

The books by Julia are a treasure. One after another. This is our 3rd or 4th of her's and my daughter can't get over the current one, everytime till we get her a new one. As an adult it is a pleasure to read these too and you can count on them to make you relax and sleep too. :-) There is always a learning from these seemingly funny and clever stories, but it is not in your face and open to interpretation. Brilliant!

As a professional storyteller and a mom I highly recommend anythingbthat has the 'Julia Donaldson' stamp on it. No other writer is able to give our children such a compassionate, sensitive, appropriate scenario rid of any biases as Julia Donaldson. Her almost poetic style accompanied by the apt illustrations make her books irresistible to both kids and adults. Room on the broom is one such book, it is light but has subtle messages breaking stereotypes and helping children learn team- spirit. It has so much scope for drama and emoting that it easily lends itself to be dramatised by older children just as all of Julia Donaldson books. Enjoy!

The story, the presentation, the picture quality. All looks fabulous. My kid enjoyed a lot.

From the writers of The Gruffalo & The Gruffalo's Child, this book is yet another gem that any young book lover would love. The story is really nice and written in lines that are very catchy that my 2-year-old little one has it memorized the whole thing already. It is a little long, but not boring at all. The pages are of amazing quality and the illustrations and colours just make you fall in love with the book at first sight. A must buy! :)
