Broom of Doom

For fans of The Sour Grape, here is a laugh-out-loud picture book about jealousy and being careful what you wish for.

Its Halloween again and everyone is excited to celebrate . . . well, everyone except for Broom. Every year, Witch gets all the glory; shes on the magazine covers, she stars in all the movies, shes the inspiration for so many costumes, and Broom has had enough of being overlooked. Determined to be more than just Witchs sidekick, Broom concocts a plan to become the star of Halloween, and she will do anything to sweep away the competition.

Becky Daviess hilariously outrageous text and Thomas Elliotts expressive and laugh-out-loud illustrations pair perfectly to teach little ones an important lesson on jealousy, kindness, and managing emotions.
