Ten Flying Brooms | Ilanit Oliver

Despite the cute witchy artwork from illustrator Kyle Poling - I have a weakness for witchy visuals - I did not enjoy this one, finding the text clunky and unappealing. Ilanit Oliver's rhythm here was just off, and her rhymes felt forced. Books in this vein that I do recommend include: Jennifer O'Connell's “Ten Timid Ghosts“, Teri Sloat's “Zip! Zoom! On a Broom“, Carole Gerber's “10 Busy Brooms“, or Gris Grimly's recent “10 Spooky Pumpkins“.
