We spotted The Mummy With No Name and picked it up on a whim.

There’s always room for one more on this affable witch’s broomstick. or is there? In another mild mannered tale from the creators of the Smarties Prize winning picture book, The Gruffalo, a witch and her happily purring cat fly through the wind on their broomstick, without a care in the world, until the witch’s black hat blows away. In the process of retrieving it, they pick up another passenger, a polite and helpful dog. All goes well until the witch’s hair bow flies off. And then her wand. And then real disaster strikes in the shape of a big red dragon, a broken broom, and some very important but notably absent friends.
Julia Donaldson’s story, though not earthshaking in plot or rhyme, is a pleasant way to pass the time leading up to the witching hour Halloween! especially when paired with the friendly illustrations by Axel Scheffler. Readers will especially love the final illustration, in which our heroes solve their space problems once and for all. Ages 4 to 7
