Brooms Are for Flying

By Michael Rex

Book Overview

A funny, interactive Halloween story for preschoolers. "Bones are for shaking.""Capes are for sneaking.""Mouths are for moaning. ""Tummies are for treating." One Halloween, a little witch joins a group of young trick-or-treaters, and all participate in a wonderful foot-stomping, hand-clapping dance. But when the children take off their masks, they get a big surprise: under her mask, the little witch really is a witch -- and she shows the others that brooms really are for flying With his signature bold, bright artwork and simple, engaging text, Michael Rex has created the perfect Halloween book for preschoolers, who will love to do as the monsters do in this uproarious celebration. The rhythmic text begs to be chanted aloud, and the little witch provides all the thrills of this favorite holiday, without any of the chills.

Customer Reviews

Best Halloween book ever

We pulled this book out at the library when my daughte was 1. She loved it so much we had to buy it. She still loves it and is 3. We read all year long. Not very wordy, but she got up and moved to the book everytime. Definitely reccommend this to anyone.

Terrific Treat!

The most important statistics: Our 2 year old daughter loves this book; we read it 4 times in a row when it first arrived, and a week later, it's still her favorite. The book introduces all the Halloween essentials, from dressing up to getting treats. As you read you can play along with the characters, marching, stomping and spooking. Best of all are the simple, fun drawings of the classic halloween icons, including a ghost, wolf-man and of course, a pirate! This is a delightful book- I highly recommend it.
