Room on the Broom

by Julia Donaldson

Ages 3–6 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in somewhere magical funnyrhyming

A witch keeps stopping to pick up passengers until her broom snaps in two. When a dragon corners her, the animals she helped repay the favour.

A story about animals and witches and wizards, funny and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
