Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson
A witch and a cat take a ride on a broom,enjoying the clear night air until… whoosh! the wind blows the witch’s hat clear off her head, causing the witch to cry. A dog rescues the hat, returns it to the witch, and asks for a ride on the broom. As the threesome fly into the windy night, the witch looses another item, setting the stage for an enjoyable,repetitive story line. Children will appreciate reading the rhyming text as more items get lost in the wind and more animals pile on the broom for a ride.
