I know what you're thinking. A book about a witch should only be read in October leading up to Halloween. Not so with Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson, gorgeous illustrations by Axel Scheffler.
This rhyming tale follows a kind, klutzy witch who, along with her cat, picks up a dog, frog and a bird after they help her find items that have fallen off her broom.
When the broom reaches maximum capacity and snaps, a mean dragon finds the witch. Her new friends save her, and with the help of magic, together they create an even better broom that benefits them all.
I love this book. We heard it at a book reading when the kids were yong. I had to buy it.
