Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson, ill. Axel Scheffler

Poor Kate. All she wanted was a halfway spooky picture book. Instead I give her a book from Team Gruffalo. This week’s choice of book for the Halloween season has appeared year after year on the Bestseller Lists here in America. It’s a book that features a kind of Mr. Gumpy’s Outing meets There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly energy on its pages. Never read it? Never fear! We’ve done it for you and found some tidbits worth discussing.
