【Product Information】

Celebrate Halloween with the witch and her friends in this special edition of the bestselling classic Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, with a stunning neon orange cover and lots of fun extras!

Room on the Broom Halloween Edition is the ideal Halloween gift for young children, with the full classic story, tips for hosting your very own Room on the Broom Halloween party and some spooky things to make and do: create a truly magnificent witch’s hat and bake some cheese wands – so delicious they’ll disappear in a flash!

Room on the Broom is the perfect story to share at Halloween. 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, there are plenty of friends around to help her out, and they all want a ride on the broom too. 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 friends had better think fast!
