Room on the Broom has a great rhythm and has elements of repetition which young children are able to follow so they can join in with the reading. Julia Donaldson used to be a songwriter before she started writing books, and this is evident in many of her stories. The elements are against her and the witch loses her hat, bow and wand, but she makes new friends who help her find her belongings and when disaster strikes they save her from a witch eating dragon! To repay her friends the witch performs a magic spell and creates a magnificent new broom with room for all of them. This story follows a witch as she embarks on an eventful journey on her broomstick. Julia Donaldson always manages to create stories with great pace and excitement. Room on the Broom is another brilliant book from the creators of The Gruffalo.
