Product Description

The Cat and the Wizard tells the story of a disgruntled wizard and his unwanted bag of tricks. One day, in a laundromat, he befriends a jet-black cat with a spiffy hat, a heart full of hospitality, and no one to share it with. Together they retire to Casa Loma, where they embark on an evening of candlelight, wine, and tuna fish; they juggle with sparklers, turnips, flautists, and butterflies' wings. The party lasts until the crack of dawn.

This rhyming delight is accompanied by the glorious, whimsical art of Gillian Johnson. The Cat and the Wizard is a storytelling feast-sure to delight and entrance, and sure to be loved by Dennis Lee fans young and old.
