Haunted Housework

The_widows_broomThe Widow's Broom, by Chris VanAllsburg, is hardly new (1992) and is unjustly overshadowed by his other seasonal classic, The Polar Express. Much more fairy than scary, this autumnal tale of a widow who finds herself in possession of an extraordinary broom contains page upon page of frame worthy illustration. A creepy twist on cleanliness for readers as young as five.
