School Library Journal - 09/01/2017 PreS-Gr 1—In this counting book, rhyming text follows one, two, three, and up to 10 witches as they gather on a single broom for a perilously crowded flight. They zip, glide, and dive as they haunt, chant, incant, rave, and rant. One by one they "hit reverse" and leave the broom, pushing for room, they "squabble…squirm…topple" off, sliding down through lightning and a drenching rain, before slipping down into the night. Detailed ink sketches of each individual witch (a diverse collection of cartoon characters highlighted in watercolor) fill scenes of towering castles, a helpful resident dragon, animated skeletons tending the graveyard, and nighttime frolics around cauldrons. Miniscule bats hang from the ceiling of Dracula's rooms, and witches dangle upside down from the larger broom, while a lone little witch finally escapes with her faithful kitten across a harvest moon. VERDICT A mildly spooky general purchase for all libraries, this may be just the ticket for detail-driven independent readers, who will enjoy finding the lightly hidden numbers on each page or perhaps telling the story behind each scene.—Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX - Copyright 2017 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
