Your Book Review
Me and my kid, we both are a great fan of Julia Donaldson’s books. This is our second book from Julia Donaldson and we love it to its core. It’s a great book with rhyming words and catchy illustrations, which keep the kids occupied and entertained and they love to listen the story with a great interest.
I am happy that I introduced this book to my kid, who loves to go through the book at least twice in a day.
I bought this book because I have heard really good reviews about the book and now I am here sharing my reviews with you all.
What is the book about ?
The book is about a kind witch who started her journey with a cat. On her way due to stormy wind she lost her few things which were retrieved by some creatures. Each time she lost an object she gained a companion who found her objects on her broomstick.
The story moves with rhyming statements and wonderful illustrations and takes the reader to its well thought end.
What does it teach ?
As I explained before, the story is about a kind witch who allows other creatures to have a ride on a broomstick because they retrieved her lost things. So she showed her gratitude towards them by allowing them to sit on a broomstick. On her journey she made friends which saved her life when she was in danger.
So in short, I can say the book teaches us to be kind and have some really good friends. Do good to everyone as much as you can, because good friends are like a lifeline and they can help you when you will be in need.
Second thing, unity has strength. Her friends when joined their hands together were able to save her life.
Thus, book has a great message conveyed in a funny way.
Is it slow fast ?
The book has a good flow. It keeps the reader and listener interested and they tend to be keen what will happen next in the story.
How are the illustrations ?
The illustrations are really cute and amazing. Book’s colourful illustrations can grab the attention of kids and can keep the kids interested in book reading.
Illustrations are well in-line with the conversation and statements, thus kids love to look at them and can understand the story well.
Will you recommend it to others ?
Yes, I love this book and will recommend it to others. Its a wonderfully written book, a must buy.
