MEDIA REVIEWS
Room On The Broom is as fabulous a picture book as you'd expect from the team that brought you The Gruffalo. It hits all the right notes,with its strong sense of rhyme,a familiar element of repetition,interesting characters,and a nice plot twist at the end. Axel Scheffler's illustrations are as glorious as ever. There's nothing to knock.Written in rhyme in true Julia Donaldson style,this is yet another story that will engage young children.
