Overview / 简介: |
The wizard, watchful, waits alone within his tower of cold gray stone and ponders in his wicked way what evil deeds he'll do this day.
What do you think the wizard is planning to do? Conjure a magic spell? Turn a frog into a flea? Fill a cauldron with bubbling brew?
You may think you know . . . but watch out. Because if the wizard is bored, he may come looking for you!

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| On a seemingly normal suburban cul-de-sac, one house is definitely out of character—the looming tower that's home to the title character. Dressed in a green robe and peaked hat decorated with stars and moons, He's tall and thin with wrinkled skin, writes Prelutsky, a tangled beard hangs from his chin. (The verse originally appeared in the 1976 collection Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep.) As he ponders in his wicked way/ what evil deed he'll do this day, the wizard decides to gives his powers a workout on a hapless frog. The poor amphibian is transformed into a flea, a pair of mice, a cockatoo, a piece of chalk and silver bell before being returned to his original shape. Mightily pleased with himself, the wizard gazes down upon the children playing in the street below and debates his next move: He may pluck someone off the spot/ and turn him into... who knows what? The poem isn't one of Prelutsky's most memorable works, but it is pretext enough for an impressive picture book by Dorman. The illustrator's digital artwork has all the burnished lushness and radiance of oil paintings. Whether immersing readers in the delicious gloominess of the wizard's workroom or zooming in for a close-up of the enchanter's knobby fingers and menacing nails, Dorman proves his mettle as a marvelous visual storyteller. Ages 5-10. (July) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I don't know what book the other person read but this book is not about a wizard turning kids into toads.
The wizard takes a toad and turns him into other things. All the author says in the end is the next time you see a toad or lizard look carefully you never know what you might see.
The wizard does change the poor toad into many things but he eventually turns him back into a toad.
Besides it is by Jack Prelutsky. The art work by Brandon Dorman is just beautiful.
