Chronicle Supposing Books The Widow's Broom

This isn’t necessarily a Halloween book. It’s set in the fall and there is a witch in it, but it’s really an anytime book. I’m going to go ahead and put it in the holiday reviews I do, but I read this earlier in the year and it was fun.

The artwork is Stunning and unbelievable. This is a beautiful book. So much love and detail went into the making of it.

A witch is flying in the sky and her broom is old and it dies and falls out of the sky. She lands in the vegetable garden of a kindly woman living alone. She brings the witch inside and lets her heal. The witch recovers and she has a friend come and pick her up while the lady is sleeping. The broom is left at the house and the woman thinks it’s now a normal broom so she uses it. One day, it starts sweeping on its own. The woman thinks this is great, but it doesn’t stop sweeping and drives her crazy. So, she teaches it new chores to do and it plays the piano too, one note at a time. A neighbor sees this and thinks its evil and soon everyone has heard of this broom and comes to see it. Then the neighbor boys start messing with the broom and the broom defends itself. I love how this plays out. I think you should read it.

It’s a clever story. It’s a longer story, but it’s a fun one during the Halloween season. It’s not really scary, there are witches and ghost and it’s a delight to read.

The nephew thought this was hilarious. He loved the broom flinging the dog away into the sky (it’s not hurt). He thought this was a fun story and he gave this 3 stars. The niece read this one with us. I lured her in tonight. She loved the artwork and she thought the story was lighthearted and fun. She gave this 3 stars too.

The widow begins using it like an ordinary broom before she discovers that it hasn't lost all its magic after all. At first the widow is frightened, but the broom is a hard worker and eager to help. Soon it soon

I love, love, love how Van Allsburg refrains from making the witch old and ugly. The broom - steals my heart.

This is an outstanding picture book, both in story and illustrations. Part of the fun for me was knowing virtually nothing about it (other than seeing the high ratings from other GoodReads members and friends) so I will not include a synopsis in my review (there are many other fine ones to be found, anyway). Instead, I will say that I was utterly captivated and constantly surprised by the twists and turns in this tale. It is a story of kindness, gratitude, fear and prejudice, acceptance and

Not sure this book has a place in my library but plan to try again in a few years. Rich in illustrations and metaphor.

The Widows Broom is a haunting story from the great mind of Chris Van Allsburg and it is about how a lonely widow named Minna Shaw finds a friend in a witchs broom, but is threatened by the villagers to get rid of the broom because the know that it is witch crafted. The Widows Broom may have some controversial material about witchcraft, but it is a brilliant read for children who love haunting stories.Chris Van Allsburg makes this story haunting yet memorable at the same time as it details the

This is one of my favorite Chris Van Allsburg books. As he often does in his picture books, the author/illustrator plays with reality and fantasy, adding a twist at the end. When a witch falls from the sky, she leaves behind her broom as thanks to Minna Shaw for helping her recover. Minna doesn't expect much from the broom, but it has magical powers and sweeps her floors and chops her wood. After her neighbor Mr. Spivey considers it the devil's handiwork and his two sons accost the broom,

I tend to love Chris Van Allsburg's less famous books like this one.A quirky twist on a Halloween story, my fifth graders LOVED THIS BOOK. I dressed up as a witch and read it to them, and they had so much fun with the idea of a run-away witches' broom.I also like the different perspective on witches... they're not all bad after all.Of course the highlight is really Van Allsburg's illustration, but the story stands up on its own.
