Very funny

The Independent, December 16, 2001
These rollicking rhymes explore the virtue of co-operation. We loved it.

Synopsis
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. They are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, and each animal asks for a ride on the broom. One after the next climbs on, until the broom is so heavy that it snaps in two! What will happen next as they tumble into a bog and meet a greedy dragon?

Customer Reviews

"The witch had a cat and a very tall hat, and long ginger hair which she wore in a plait."
Its hard for me to review this book because I SO wanted to give it a 5 star rating. It has fun clear pictures and the rhyming story is easy to read and fun to tell. I really think it deserves top marks!

But my 3 year old son HATED it. He was scared of the dragon and scared of the witch! After our first reading he said to me "Mummy, I don't like that book"!

However, I do think there are a lot of children out there who WILL like it. In fact, I have purchased a copy for a friend's daughter who I know for a fact loves stories about witches.

Therefore I am giving this book 4 stars, because I like it, some children will like it, its just that my own son didn't.

For all ages
My grandchildren have loved this book since they were 2 & 3 and loved to join in. It gave us endless fun and entertainment.

Absolutely fantastic!
I absolutely love reading this book with my son. It's a book full of fun and one that I will never tire of reading - even for the hundreth time! It is one of those books that every child should have.
