Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World (RAC Mix)

Listen to an extract from the audiobook of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, read by Josie Lawrence.

Join the witch and her cat for a broomstick adventure!
The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. They are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, and each animal asks for a ride on the broom. They climb on, one after the next, until the broom is so heavy that it snaps in two!
What will happen next as they tumble into a bog and meet a greedy dragon?
Julia Donaldson's irresistible verse and Axel Scheffler's instantly recognisable, lively illustrations will captivate children in Room on the Broom - a much-loved tale of quick wits and friendship.
