Summary: The Widow's Broom Book Review
Comment: The Widow's Broom is an outstanding book about an old widow named Minna Shaw, who finds a witch's former broom that has lost the power of flight in her kitchen. At that moment, the broom was sweeping the floor of Minna's kitchen all by it's self. At first, she was frightened, but the magical broom seemed harmless, and it was doing a very good job sweeping the floors like magic, and she thought it might be very good at other jobs too. The Widows broom was a fabulous story and I would highly recommend that you should read it no matter how old you are.

Summary: The Widow's Broom by Chris Van Allsburg
Comment: I still remember the days of when I used to borrow this from the local library as a small child. This used to be one of my favourite books alongside of "The Wizard of Oz" and "Alice in Wonderland," and many other fantasy books. This one was an exceptionally original and unique illustrated picture book about a widow who earns a strange gift (the broom) from a witch who stayed with the widow to heal from a crash. When the witch leaves, the widow notices that the broom has special powers and can move and clean the house - of course the neighbours are suspicious and jealous and want to get their hands on the broom. One of the things about this novel that makes it so special is the wonderful, sepia tone illustrations that add plenty of atmosphere to the reader's experience. There is one illustration that is very creepy to me and always be a powerful image - the witch standing in the night looking youthful and strong, staring out into the night sky. An excellent book for children and adults alike. Spellbinding reading!
