Room on the Broom

Product Information

It has a nice rhyming flow to the story which will keep children engaged plus the use of repetition. In 2019, the Prindle Institute partrnered with Thomas Wartenberg and became the digital home of his Teaching Children Philosophy discussion guides. It is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am now looking forward to reading “The Gruffalo” which is also by Donaldson and Scheffler. Anyone with small children (and older ones too, I'm sure) will be familiar with Julia Donaldson, in particular The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, which - along with Room on the Broom - have been made into animated films that regularly show on the ABC. Here is a picture of me acting the witch in our stage show “The Gruffalo, the Witch and the Warthog”.

My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old.It seems to appeal to adults and kids equally - which is what you want - if you have to read it about 50,000 times. Featuring the voices of Gillian Anderson (Witch), Rob Brydon (Cat), Martin Clunes (Dog), Sally Hawkins (Bird), Simon Pegg (Narrator), Timothy Spall (Dragon) and David Walliams (Frog).

Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson is a beautifully illustrated book that tells the story of a delightful witch who has the misfortune of losing her possessions while on one of her magical flights in a gusty wind. My son is 16 months old, and Room on the Broom is currently his second favourite book - he goes and gets it himself from his book shelf most days, which is really cute.They all fall to the ground, and the witch encounters a big, red, terrifying dragon who wants to eat her. We're a family of witch fans and this book is so much fun to read and very exciting for my little boy.

The TV show is so well done that it outshines the book a bit, at least for someone who saw that first and read the book later. She lives in Glasgow and spends a lot of time on stage performing her brilliant sell-out singalong shows! Room on the Broom has a delightful rhyme that almost sounds like song, or music - any picture book that rhymes like this is a pleasure to read out loud.It rhymes, so there is a real flow - and my young follower, who was 6 easily supplied all the end words at the right points, which I thought was quite funny, because being a boy, he couldn't read, but he had more or less remembered every word of this book. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Some little animal friends will help her retrieve them along the way, but will there be enough room on her broom for them all to fly together after helping?
