Wow. My very first picture book -- PIGGIE PIE!, is celebrating
it's fifteenth anniversary this year! It tickles me to know that

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for both kids and adults!, December 21, 2001

This review is from: Zoom Broom (Hardcover)

This book was so fun to read. The story is about a cranky witch whose old broom goes kaput and how she tries to replace it. Adults will get a kick out of references to The Wizard of Oz and smarmy car salesmen. Kids will love the vivid illustrations and the hilarious language. The exchange between the salesman and the witch is a crack-up.

This story was a bit over my 4 year olds head, but kids 5 and up will surely enjoy it.

This "sequel" to Piggie Pie is fantastic! It's one of those books you don't mind reading, out loud and in character, over and over, whether your grandchild has fallen asleep or not.
The illustrations are rich and fun to see. If you're a long-distance grandparent, buy two copies--mail one to your grandchild and keep one for yourself. I'll be buying all of margie Palatini's books!

5.0 out of 5 stars ZOOM BROOM is the ultimate "Foxy" story for kids!, October 27, 2001

This review is from: Zoom Broom (Paperback)

I've read it over and over and OVER again. I love it just a little more each and every time. My 7 year old son loves ZOOM BROOM almost as much as PIGGIE PIE! The book is thoroughly clever and doesn't lack a thing! The artwork is delicious, the words are precocious and the creativity divine. My son even recites the story from heart, almost word for word. Thank goodness for the fabulous artwork or he would give up reading for story telling. This is a must have Margie Palatini, Howard Fine creation!
