Mitchell, Malcolm The Magician’s Hat, illustrated by Joanne
Lew-Vriethoff. PICTURE BOOK. Orchard Books (Scholastic), 2018. $18. 9781338114546
The Magician has come to Family Fun Day at the library, but
he has more than regular magic tricks.
He brings the magic within books to life for the children, showing them
that so many things are possible if you dream.
Unfortunately this picture book lacks the mention of the
idea that you also have to work to achieve your dreams. Also, for one of the boys dreams of being the
stereotypical football star, which I find to be weak storytelling. With a
couple of small tweaks, this could have been an inspirational book.
EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.
