베스트셀러 그림책인 The Gruffalo의 저자인 Julia Donaldson(글)과 Axel Scheffler(그림)가 함께 만든 재미있는 그림책입니다.

바람이 부는 바람에 고양이를 빗자루에 태우고 하늘로 날아가던 마녀의 모자가 아래 숲 속에 떨어졌습니다. 땅으로 내려온 마녀와 고양이는 샅샅이 찾아봤지만 모자를 발견할 수가 없었습니다. 그 때 강아지 한 마리가 마녀의 모자를 물고 덤불에서 뛰어 나왔습니다. 강아지는 마녀에게 모자를 찾아준 대가로 빗자루에 태워달라고 요청했습니다. 빗자루에 고양이와 강아지를 태우고 하늘을 날던 마녀가 이번에는 머리를 묶고 있던 리본을 땅에 떨어 뜨리자 녹색의 새가 찾아주고, 마술봉을 떨어뜨렸을 때는 개구리가 찾아 줘서 빗자루에 모두 함께 타게 됩니다. 하지만 너무 많이 빗자루를 타는 바람에 하늘 높이 올라갔을 때 빗자루가 뚝 부러지고 말았습니다. 동물들은 모두 땅으로 떨어 지고, 반토막 빗자루를 타고 구름 속에 들어간 마녀는 무시무시한 용을 만나게 됩니다. 도망가는 마녀를 잡은 용은 땅 위에서 마녀를 잡아먹으려는 순간 네 마리의 동물들의 기발한 재치로 인해 가까스로 위기를 벗어납게 되고, 마녀는 그 보답으로 푹신한 의자와 샤워시설까지 갖춘 최신형 빗자루를 만들어서 동물들을 태우고 하늘을 날아 오릅니다...

What is 페이퍼백? 표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

페이퍼백입니다.

Annotation
A witch finds room on her broom for all the animals that ask for a ride, and they repay her kindness by rescuing her from a dragon.


From the Publisher
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? Illustrated by Axel Scheffler


Publishers Weekly
In this lightweight, witty story, helpful animals find "room on the broom" of a generous witch. At first, a striped cat accompanies the cheerful sorceress: "How the cat purred/ and how the witch grinned,/ As they sat on their broomstick/ and flew through the wind." Next, a spotted dog retrieves the witch's flyaway black hat and asks to come aboard. The three riders soon welcome a green parrot (who finds the witch's lost hair ribbon) and a frog (who rescues her wand from the bottom of a pond). When threatened by a dragon, the loyal animals form a "Brementown Musicians" chimera whose "terrible voice,/ when it started to speak,/ was a yowl and a growl/ and a croak and a shriek." The witch repays them by conjuring a cushier vehicle. Donaldson and Scheffler, previously paired for The Gruffalo, emphasize the airborne animals' contentment and evoke sympathy for the broom's driver. In Scheffler's comical panels and insets, the witch has a warty nose and lace-up boots, but wears a pleasant smile; Donaldson puts a spooky/silly spin on the folktale format. The metrical rhyme and goofy suspense aren't groundbreaking, but readers will likely find it refreshing to see a witch playing against type.


Children's Literature
The witch loses her hat, leading to a series of misadventures, each of which adds another passenger on her broom. The combined weight finally snaps the broom, leaving the witch at the mercy of a mean, hungry dragon. She is saved by her clever flying companions, and the jolly verses end with them all flying happily together on a larger, "truly magnificent broom." In large, colorful, action-filled scenes and vignettes, Scheffler depicts an appealing pigtailed witch, a benign landscape, and a magical world in a humorous, cartoon-y style. Even the final confrontation between the dragon and the "horrible beast" of her friends is conceived for fun, not fright.


School Library Journal
A witch and her cat pick up a dog, a bird, and a frog, and fly off on her broomstick. The frog jumps for joy, the broomstick snaps in two, the animals land in a bog, and a dragon captures the witch. What to do? As in the Grimms' "The Bremen Town Musicians," the animals, covered in mud, stand on each other and "yowl," "growl," "croak," and "shriek," scaring the dragon and saving the witch. All's well that ends well for the witch conjures up a super broom with seats for the cat and dog, a nest for the bird, and a pool for the frog. The story is in rhyme, bouncing merrily along, full of fun, and not at all scary. The illustrations are witty and wonderful. All the characters, even the dragon, have the same goofy grin and large, round eyes. Dressed in a purple skirt, red blouse, and black cape and hat, the witch, with a long, ginger braid, is more friendly than frightening. The image of the red dragon carrying her, passed out cold, is a hoot. And her cat is not the traditional black cat; it looks more like a baby tiger. The result is a surefire read-aloud hit.
