Perfect for the changing seasons and a great way to celebrate Halloween.

The witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch's hat, then her bow, and then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.

But is there room on the broom for so many friends? And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon?

Critic reviews

A sweet story for winding down

Sometimes when you are traveling, you need that that in-between story that let's your kiddo go from being riled up to a bit calmer. This one is it. Tell your kiddo it's got a dragon in it. Good themes of sharing and sticking up for our friends.

Amazing!

It's a must for people with children! The story is fun filled and entertaining for all ages. My daughter is 8 and we listen to it every night at bed time. She also has the book she reads along.

Always one of our favorites!

My 4-year-old daughter and I found this a few months ago on a tv streaming channel and were delighted to find it here! It never gets old and it always makes us smile.

Room on the broom

This is my Granddaughter’s favorite bedtime story. She only made half way through tonight. Love it!

Bad performance ruins the book

Love the book and other performances of it but not by this narrator. My son hates her voice. Waste money.
