There's always room for one more on this affable witch's broomstick... or is there? In another mild-mannered tale from the creators of the Smarties Prize-winning picture book, The Gruffalo, a witch and her happily purring cat fly through the wind on their broomstick, without a care in the world, until the witch's black hat blows away. In the process of retrieving it, they pick up another passenger, a polite and helpful dog. All goes well until the witch's hair bow flies off. And then her wand. And then real disaster strikes--in the shape of a big red dragon, a broken broom, and some very important (but notably absent) friends. Julia Donaldson's story, though not earthshaking in plot or rhyme, is a pleasant way to pass the time leading up to the witching hour (Halloween!) especially when paired with the friendly illustrations by Axel Scheffler. Readers will especially love the final illustration, in which our heroes solve their space problems once and for all. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
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?
Illustrated by Axel Scheffler

British version is better August 13, 2010
Elisabeth Von Hagel (Oban, Scotland)
I'm an ex-pat living in Scotland. This is my 19 month old boy's favorite book. We read it every night. It should not just be a Halloween book and it is a shame that some words have been changed for the American market. I've bought all my US friends a copy but made sure it was the British version and sent a little note explaining the vocab differences. It is good for kids to be exposed to language as well as the original charm of the story.
Loved it! June 8, 2010
Michelle Elizabeth Rogers (Folsom, PA United States)
My nephew LOVES to read. He is well read for 6. I send him all types of books and saw this one when I was searching for Halloween stories.
He absolutely loved it! He had to call me and read me some of it over the phone. I will be looking for more books from this author.

great reader grandmom (Michigan)
my grandson loves this book. We read it to him many times he doesn't want another bedtime story.
Grandma says buy this book! February 16, 2010
Paula P. Breedlove (North Carolina)
Today, I read this book for the 1st time to my 3 year old grandson and immediately ordered it to give to 5 friends who are also grandmothers! The rhymes are catchy; the illustrations are clever, colorful, and just plain fun to look at; the vocabulary is not dumbed down; the theme is meaningful: becoming a friend and BEING a friend, and my grandson was mesmerized and not frightened.
A Great Ride! January 23, 2010
B. Daniels (Northern California)
I love this book, and everything else by this author. We first checked it out from the library and renewed it the maximum times, so after we returned it I ordered the board book version from Amazon. And much to my happiness, it was a UK version! So instead of braids, the text now says plaits. Instead of fries, the text says chips. It's a fun story. My toddler LOVES to read it.
