Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As much as we love all Julia Donaldson books, Room on the Broom and Stick Man are our favorites! The story is so much fun. A friendly witch starts her travels with one friend, but ends up making several more friends who help her find lost items along the way. She finds room on her broom for all the animals asking for rides, and they repay her kindness in the end. This new board book version is more fun than the edition we borrowed from the library. The library version I'm familiar with seems to have been "Americanized" and some of the changes are a bit of a stretch. But this one seems to be closer to the original. Below are changes between editions (library version first, then new board book edition). -And long ginger hair in a braid down her back. -And long ginger hair which she wore in a plait (plait means braid) -The witch laughed out loud and held on to her hat, But away blew the bow from her braid - just like that! -The witch laughed aloud and held onto her hat, But away blew the bow from her long ginger plait! -"I am a dragon, as mean as can be, And you, witch, look like a good supper to me!" -"I am a dragon, as mean as can be, And I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea!" -The dragon drew nearer and started to drool. He said, "I won't let you go- do you think I'm a fool?" -The dragon drew nearer and, licking his lips, Said, "Maybe this once I'll have witch without chips." -A nest for the bird and a pool for the frog -A nest for the bird and a shower for the frog
