The Beginner's Guide to Being a Wizard

Attention, aspiring wizards! Grab your wands, capes, and geckos and dive into this hilarious and clever picture book by award-winning author-illustrator Keith Negley.

"Wizard enthusiasts of all ages will be tickled. Pure magic for the wizard-curious." - Kirkus Reviews

So you want to become a wizard? Excellent choice.

Magic, like everything in life, takes practice and patience. It's important to know that you will make mistakes. For example, you might accidentally turn your friends into fish, or yourself into a turnip. This is all normal. Remember, magic is more about wondering than knowing. Also explosions.

This handbook covers everything from essential materials--a stick (not too pokey); a cloak (a towel works fine); a hiding place; and snacks--to spell casting, duels, and did we mention snacks?

In turns hilarious and thoughtful, this how-to guide sparkles with just as much wisdom as it does magic.
