JUNE STAFF BOOK PICK

TEAM MEMBER: Miss Honeybun

RECOMMENDATION: “Room on the Broom”

AUTHOR: Julia Donaldson

GENRE: picture book

MISS HONEYBUN SAYS: Soar on a jolly broom ride through this enchanting picture book! A friendly witch welcomes cats, dogs, frogs, and other passengers aboard her broom during a nighttime flight. When a dragon threatens the merriment, creative teamwork saves the day! Bouncy rhymes and plenty of humor cast a spell in this magical read-aloud. Five out of five carrots!

Speaking of witchy fun, be sure to register for Magic in the Library, CCCLD’s 2023 Summer Reading program! To learn more, please visit www.cccld.org/summerreading.
