Book Reviews of Room on the Broom
Book Review: Grandma says buy this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Great book - especially for Halloween
Summary: 5 Stars
A kind-hearted witch with a tricked-out broom and good friends who rescue her from an evil dragon - what's not to love!Book Review: Great book in the Halloween/Fall theme
Summary: 5 Stars
We live in South Florida, where we are deprived of the later seasons of the year, such as Fall and Winter. I personally love Fall, but we do not enjoy it here. To get my daughter into the spirit, I researched Halloween/Fall theme books to read her and "Room on the Broom" came up on that list. I ordered it from the local library because I spend way too much money on books for her and unless I know she loves it, I'm not going to buy her a million books. I think we will be buying Room on the Broom very soon. I personally love the book and thinks it's a great story about friendship. My daughter is only 2 years old so I didn't want a Halloween/spooky book that would scare her. The dragon bit did unnerve her at first, but I assured that witches and dragons are real and that the witch's friends saved her from the dragon. That being said, my daughter really does not like monsters, dragons, or any spooky things too much, so perhaps a boy or a braver girl might not even require reassurance about the drago. Even still, my daughter loves it and frequently requests each night in order to avoid bedtime. Room on the Broom, she says. She also wants to be a witch this Halloween. I love the repetitive rhyming and how cooperative the animals and the witch are. It's a nice twist on the spooky witch theme. Unfortunately, the library copy has a page missing whre the frog apparently comes no board, but I love the ending where they are all a place on the broom including a pool for the frog. It's a great book and I'm so happy I found it with the help of Amazon's reviews. As a parent, I like reading this book...I like the story (it's interesting and new), I like the pictures, and the theme of Halloween/Fall.Book Review: Great fun for kids and adults
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a gift for my 2 year old son. He sits rapt while I read the story and enjoys identifying the animals and noticing what has fallen off the witch's broom. I absolutely love the happy story, and it is pure pleasure to read out loud. The rhymes are great and the part about the dragon makes me giggle every time. I'm going to buy all Julia Donaldson's other books!Book Review: Great story
