Synopsis

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. One after the next climbs on, 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? #16 in Australia's Top 50 Kids' Books
