Woozy the Wizard, A Broom to Go Zoom by Elli Woollard and Al Murphy

We wrote this for the Guardian Children’s Books Family Review

  

When Woozy the Wizard needs to replace his broom he finds a ‘shiny new shop’ selling hoovers that zoom. However, when he gets home he finds its a flat pack hoover and looks to his friends for help and finds that sometimes shiny new things don’t always live up to their promise.

This is a great story to read out loud because of its funny rhyming verse. The silly story, fabulous rhymes & bright illustrations also make it perfect for new readers. Within minutes of reading the book aloud Bryn had sneaked off to read it himself. Freya found Woozy’s pet pig hilarious & enjoyed looking at the illustrations in the book.

This is a wonderfully bright & quirky book in tone, language & pictures. I really enjoyed the zany humour in both the text & pictures and we were all left wanting to hear more Woozy Wizard stories
