A witch, a cat and one increasingly crowded broomstick. Room on the Broom is the much loved picture book from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the award winning creators of The Gruffalo.

Follow the witch and her cat as they fly over forests, rivers and mountains, collecting some helpful new friends along the way. But when the broom becomes a little too crowded and a hungry dragon appears, friendship and some quick thinking might be exactly what they need.

This sturdy board book edition brings the classic rhyming story and Axel Scheffler’s distinctive illustrations to a format made especially for little hands. Beautifully produced and designed to withstand plenty of repeat reads, it is a lovely introduction to Julia Donaldson’s storytelling for younger children.
