Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson.
“This fun family read-aloud is the perfect way to start Halloween celebrations and an ideal gift book. A sweet story of quick wits, friendship, and inclusivity from the creators of The Gruffalo !
The witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch’s hat, then her bow, and then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom. But is there room on the broom for so many friends? And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon?” – Goodreads
What’s a StoryWalk?
The StoryWalk at Tilton Park combines our love of reading with the outdoors! The pages from a children’s picture book are displayed in 10 stations along a hiking trail at Tilton Park. Residents and visitors of all ages will enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, while reading and spending time together. The StoryWalk at Tilton Park was designed by Sunapee Middle High School in collaboration with The Friends of the Abbott Library, The Abbott Library, The Sunapee Recreation Department, The Conservation Commission and Project Sunapee.
The 1 mile trail begins just past the playground at the top of the hill and consists of hills, grassy areas and woods. We recommend you wear sturdy shoes and bring some water. There are some portions of the trail that can be wet. The StoryWalk map can be found below and can be accessed by a QR code at Tilton Park.
Visitors are encouraged to share their StoryWalk experience on social media with photos, using hashtags #AbbottLibrary #StoryWalk.
