BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Mr. Jacques is a magician. He has traveled the world entertaining kings, but now he will entertain the reader of his book. Mr. Jacques disappears and reappears; in the book, in your hand, even on your nose. Mr. Jacques is happy to show his readers how they too can be magicians of imagination.
This book strikes me as one that is meant to be read aloud. The drama and excitement of the disappearing magician are only truly felt as an interaction between the reader and listener. Mr. Jacques's proportions are incongruent which was a little distracting to me, but otherwise, the pictures are clever and match the drama of the text.
