If Meg’s Halloween spell that accidentally turned the witches into mice made you grin, you’ll love the witch in Room on the Broom whose magic and broomstick adventures keep going adorably awry. Like Meg heading off with Mog and Owl, this witch gathers animal friends along the way, and every new passenger brings another playful twist—and a big, heartwarming payoff.
Did Meg’s bungled party spell—and poor Mog’s reactions—crack you up? Winnie the Witch delivers that same fizzy, slapstick charm. Winnie’s magic misfires spectacularly, especially when she keeps changing her cat Wilbur’s color by mistake, echoing Meg’s comic blunders at the witches’ party while keeping the tone bright and bouncy.
If you love how Mog pads after Meg—from getting dressed in her stripy tights to joining the party—Tabby McTat will tug the same heartstring. The story centers on a loyal, musical cat and the bond he shares with his person, capturing that warm, companionable feeling you get whenever Mog and Owl are by Meg’s side.
If the simple, rhythmic build of Meg and Mog—Meg gets ready, goes out, casts a spell, oops!—makes it a joy to read aloud, Dear Zoo offers that same clean, repeatable structure. You’ll get the satisfying turn-the-page pattern and confident, unfussy language that made Meg’s morning-to-party routine so easy and fun to share.
If you enjoyed how Meg and Mog tells a compact caper—from breakfast to a topsy-turvy spell and back again—Frog and Toad Are Friends serves up five short, self-contained tales with the same satisfying, begin-and-end-in-one-go feel. Each episode delivers a gentle chuckle and a tidy resolution, perfect for that quick story-time fix.
