There was once a man who fell in love with a broom. By the light of the full moon, this enchanted broom sweepwalks, and when the man discovers her they dance together, up and down the room, into the kitchen and down the hall. Then, this extraordinary broom is kidnapped - no, broomnapped - by a greedy stranger, who soon tosses her aside when he finds she won't dance for him. It seems all is lost, but there's magic in love, and soon the broom is once again sweeping where she belongs. Nancy Willard's lyrical language and Mary GrandPré's lush artwork inspire the imagination in this fanciful picture book.
