A fun read for Halloween. Visually appealing with colorful, cartoon-like illustrations. This would make a good storytime book with its engaging text that incorporates counting with the joy of Halloween.

Ten little witches have an adventure one Halloween night in this cute seasonal counting book. When one witch on a long speedy broom picks up another from a graveyard, it begins a process whereby more and more witches join the flying fun. Eventually, with nine witches on the broom, the party crash
Pairing a simple text in rhyme from author Carole Gerber with cute, colorful artwork from illustrator Michael Fleming, 10 Busy Brooms would make an entertaining read-aloud at Halloween time. I initially sought it out because of my interest in witchy picture-books - a perennial pet project of mine - and on that score I found it engaging. I appreciated the decorative endpapers, with their jack-o-lanterns and witches' hats, and I liked the different colors used, for the various different witches. That said, the text itself was sometimes rather awkward, and I don't know that this is one I would seek out again. Still, tastes vary, so I would recommend this one to picture-book readers in the market for fun Halloween fare for the younger set, preschool and below.
