Book Review: Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson, Axel Scheffler (Illustrator)
Super + Cute (the witch specially)! Yet another Julia Donaldson book for which we have also seen the movie adaptation! 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?
We have our own adaptation of magic words said at the end of the book (and we have our very own star wand too):
Iggety Ziggety Zaggety Zoom
Iggety Ziggety Zaggety Zoom
Dikha do apna magic
De do mujh ko new new Broom …
The magic words are adapted for anything in our home that Aaru or I wants. And this is one of the two books of Julia Donaldson we are not tired of reading (Gruffalo is THE FAVORITE). Reading Room on the Broom makes a comeback every month or so with lines so easy to remember and Aaru singing along with me. And I can just smile at his voice 🙂 Must must read for you will rarely find a witch this adorable…
