Book Description
for Word Wizard by Cathryn Falwell
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Anna is a word wizard. With a little magic and a few scrambled words, she can do just about anything. When she meets Zack, who is lost and crying, she turns his tears into a stream (with the help of an added m). The stream flows into an ocean, which Anna turns into a canoe, and she and Zack climb in. When they reach the shore, she changes it into a horse, and so it goes in this playful anagram adventure. Bright, full- color illustrations accompany a picture book that will have children creating a little magic of their own as the secrets and pleasure of words are revealed. (Age 5-7)
