Julia Donalson, autora del fascinante Gruffalo (para mí indispensable), escribe esta historia que es ilustrada por el magnífico Axel Scheffer.
Una bruja vuela con su escoba acompañada de una gata. Pero el viento le juega malas pasadas y le arranca el sombrero de pico, el lazo de la trenza, y parece que le dificulta el vuelo. Para recuperar lo perdido debe bajar a tierra y allí conoce a varios animales que le devuelven lo extraviado pero quieren subirse en la escoba porque gusta mucho.
Una historia que habla de ayudarse unos a otros, de compartir y de la amistad. Una bruja a la que los animales ayudan a encontrar sus objetos perdidos se convierte en la anfitriona de una expedición por los cielos sobre su escoba. Y cuando aparece un temido dragón, sus amigos los animales, de forma ocurrente saben ayudarla y salvarla de las fauces de la bestia
Cuento rimado, como la mayoría de esta autora, tiene un final divertido y una moraleja bonita para los niños.
Es un cuento con gran acogida en niños a partir de tres años y que yo dirigía a niños entre cuatro y seis aproximadamente. La acogida en las aulas suele ser positiva.
Este formato, tiene buen tamaño para público infantil, es aproximadamente como un folio, eso sí, si compráis la versión de tapas blandas hay que tener algo más de cuidado.
Os dejo el video para que veáis el formato.
Espero que os ayude la opinión!

The story is lovely, and the video is free on the BBC - but that uses the UK wording.
It needs to be clear in the description that this isn’t the UK version.

IT'S A TALL HAT! IT'S A PLAIT, NOT A BRAID! IT'S WITCH AND CHIPS NOT FRENCH FRIES!
Good Lord if only you knew the trouble this has caused us!! Sample screaming in the video!

TRAMA: mentre vola sulla sua scopa, una strega perde il cappello, la bacchetta e il fiocco; alcuni animali la aiuteranno a ritrovarli in cambio di un giro della scopa.. finché ad un tratto la scopa si rompe e la strega finisce in balia di un drago.. ma i suoi amici animali accorreranno di nuovo in suo aiuto, riuscendo a salvarla!
PROBLEMA EDIZIONE: per questi libri esiste una miriade di edizioni diverse tra copertina flessibile o rigida, cartonati, audio libri e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Quello che non mi era mai capitato, comprando come di consueto l'edizione inglese, era che invece dell'originale mi fosse recapitata la versione americana, che non è del tutto uguale: alcuni termini non usati negli USA vengono modificati, talvolta richiedendo di riscrivere intere frasi. Purtroppo su Amazon le due versioni sono a prima vista indistinguibili, perché in entrambi i casi vengono indicati come "lingua inglese".
SOLUZIONE: ho prontamente contattato il servizio clienti di Amazon per segnalare la questione. Mi hanno spiegato che non si poteva fare una semplice sostituzione perché questa è prevista solo per richiedere lo stesso identico prodotto. Ho quindi provveduto ad effettuare il reso ed ho fatto un nuovo ordine cambiando versione. Per cercare di identificare correttamente la versione giusta, mi sono basata sull'IBAN (cercando informazioni anche su siti esterni) e sull'editore. Quindi vi consiglio di cercare di verificare prima dell'acquisto se la versione che state comprando è effettivamente quella che desiderate e, in caso di problemi, contattate l'assistenza che saprà prontamente supportarvi!
