Room on the Broom DVD Review and Giveaway 9/9

August is Family Fun Month and we recently had the opportunity to watch a great DVD and read a book that the whole family enjoyed! What better why to spend time with the family?!?


 The witch and her cat couldn't be happier, flying through the sky on their broomstick—until the witch drops her hat, then her bow, then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals—a dog, a parrot and a frog—find the missing items and all they want in return is a ride on the broomstick. But is there room on the broom for so many new friends? The kindly witch thinks there is—much to the frustration of her cat.  But when disaster strikes, and the witch is about to be eaten by a fearsome dragon, she is saved by the gang of animals, all working together.  The witch’s cat learns the importance of friends and family, and the witch rewards her new friends with a magnificent broom that is big enough for everyone!
Based on the #1 best-selling children's book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Alex Scheffler. This is the same team that created The Gruffalo! Room on the Broom is such a great book and DVD to watch as not only does it have humor and adventure it is also teaching then the importance of friends,family and teamwork!

My Review~
This is such a great book and DVD as the pictures are awesome and I even enjoyed the story myself! It started with action and went from there. The little ones even sat and watched the whole thing. With all the animals they laughed and laughed. It was easy to follow along with the book,and the kids were even telling me that they remembered! This is a great DVD for kids and I am sure that we will be watching again the next time the little ones are here!
The Room on the Broom has already earned numerous awards and accolades, including Britain’s Royal Television Award for “Best Children’s Program” and France’s Annecy Animation Festival’s Crystal Award for “Best TV Production.” It has been named “Best Animated Short” by the Toronto International Film Festival Kid’s Festival; was the “Audience Choice” at the Cleveland International Film Festival; and was the winner of the Curtinhas Competition for children’s programming at the Curtas Vila do Conde Film Festival in Portugal.

Need more Family Fun Ideas for the month of August?  Here are just a few~
August 23 is Ride the Wind Day    
No broom is required as you can catch a ride on a gentle summer breeze by flying a kite, riding a bike, standing on a hill or just driving in the car with the windows down!
August 26 is National Dog Day    
Where would our witch be without the help of a dog?  This day, organized by the National Dog Day Foundation, honors dogs everywhere for all that they do for us – love, companionship, protection, service, safety and so much more.  Get your kids involved by playing a little longer with your family pooch, by volunteering at your local animal shelter, donating unwanted blankets to Operation Blankets of Love or by making a family donation to one of the many worthy animal rescue groups.  
August 27 is Just Because Day
As the final days of summer get swept into the early days of Fall, this holiday gives us all a chance to do something special “just because.”  Replicate the kindness of the witch and the helpfulness of the dog, bird and frog.  Open your heart as the cat ultimately did—and before you know it… iggety, ziggety, zaggety, zoom … you’ll be falling in love with Room on the Broom!
Room on the Broom DVDs are available at Target, Walmart, Toys”R”Us, amazon.com, Kmart, and many other retailers (SRP $9.99); Room on the Broom books are available everywhere books are sold (SRP: 16.99).
