Read by Josie Lawrence, Room on the Broom is a very funny story of quick wits and friendship from the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. This audiobok edition also includes a song and a read-along track.

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned,
As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind.

The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. Luckily, they are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, who are all keen for a ride on the broom. It's a case of the more, the merrier, but the broomstick isn't used to such a heavy load and it's not long before...snap! It breaks in two! And with a greedy dragon looking for a snack, the witch's animal pals better think fast.

Perfect for listening to at home, in the car, at bedtime - or any time at all!

Imprescindible

Reviewed in Spain on 23 February 2018

Me gusta mucho más está versión que la española.

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!

👍🏻Historia divertidísima 👎🏻Lenguaje complicado 👍🏻disponible en Amazon Prime Video

Reviewed in Spain on 18 January 2020

Me súper encanta este libro! Tengo una hija de 2 años y 2 meses así que aún es relativamente pequeña pero la lectura le gusta mucho y este es de sus favoritos.
Aquí va mi reseña / cosas a tener en cuenta:
1) 👍🏻👍🏻 este es nuestro 3o de esta autora y los 3 me encantan. Tenemos Monkey Puzzle (muy divertido) y “the snail and the whale” (un poco más serio pero también nos gusta). Todos riman y las ilustraciones son chulisimas!
2) 👎🏻 somos de habla inglesa pero sino encuentro que el lenguaje sería un poco complicado si se tiene menos de un nivel B2/C1 (intermedio / avanzado)
3) 👍🏻 🎥 si a tu peque le gusta la historia, lo puedes ver en Amazon Prime Video (dura 25 minutos y está genial!). También esta disponible en castellano
4) 👍🏻 la calidad del libro es una pasada. Este lo tengo desde hace poco pero el “monkey puzzle” del mismo autor, lo compramos hace un año y sigue en casi perfecto estado.

100% aconsejable para alguien que domina el inglés.

American version, not the UK version

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I was sent the American version which makes some changes to the wording versus the UK version. For example, instead of talking about “witch and chips” the dragon talks about french fries; it doesn’t flow quite as well. There are quite a few wording changes.

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.

Attenzione all'edizione

Reviewed in Italy on 1 August 2018

Se dovessi basarmi solo sul libro, la recensione sarebbe da 5 stelle come per tutti i libri della premiata ditta Donaldson+Scheffer: ormai abbiamo una discreta collezione di libri di questi autori e non ci deludono mai. La trama non è mai banale, il testo in rima è quasi musicale, i disegni sono sempre vivaci e piacevoli. La nostra bimba di 3 anni li adora!

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!

[NB. questa è la recensione associata alla versione originale inglese]

Just buy when it says Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler together on a book!

I bought this along with 11 other Julia Donaldson Books(All Board Books). I did a lot of research before buying and building my 15 month old daughters first library along with Van Fleet, Eric Carle, Dr Suess etc. At first it was all about pictures then sounds then role play and now its the story in 12-13 months she has grown with these books and loves anything we introduce now. Each book has a 12-14 page story which gives you abundance of opportunity to spend quality time with your little one. Reading is just one of the things you can do with these. They are illustrated so very well with vibrant colours and end to end pictures that you have so much to explore if you introduce reading really young. I have copied some of the illustrations on to a A4 sheet given my daughter to color. Just buy when it says Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler together on a book.
