Author/Illustrator: Chris van Allsburg
Year: 1992
Age Level: 4-8
Plot Summary: While en route, a witch's broom dies and she falls into the widow Shaw's garden. The widow puts the witch into bed, where she quickly heals and then is picked up by another witch and leaves the broom behind. The broom still has some magic left and starts doing chores for the widow, but unfortunately the neighbors don't like the idea of a magic broom.
My Rating: A. This book is gorgeous. I've read a good handful of van Allsburg books and I think these are some of his best illustrations. The story is good too, and it has a nice twist. It's easy to follow but clever and well written.
