Children's Book Review
Word Wizard

Word Wizard is more than a book about words and letters. It's
a journey into a child's imagination. Anna realizes she can
switch letters around in a single word and create another
one. Suddenly the words and letters become magic and
she is able to make a lost child, Zack, smile again. They
fight off beasts, travel, sing and most importantly, find
their way home again. The illustrations are colorful and
full of expression.
As if the book wasn't magical enough,
the last pages explain how the illustrations in the story
were actually cut paper collages. The author illustrates her
ideas for making your own sets of letters. Even before we
were finished my children were looking around for words to
scramble. My son asked me after we finished reading
"Do you think we could make our own collage book?".
What more can we ask of a book than to
inspire our children to create?
