Summary: This book tells the amusing story of a witch and her cat. When flying through the wind on the witch’s broomstick, the wind blows her hat off. They fly to the ground, and out of the bushes, a dog appears with the hat in his jaws. The dog clambers on to the broom, and more animals join them. Suddenly, the broom snaps in two and they all fall down to the ground. There, a dragon licks his lips wanting witch and chips for his tea. Luckily, the other animals manage to scare the dragon off. The witch conjures up a new broom well suited for all the animals.
