About this title

Review:

“Encourages big, imaginative thinking.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

Praise for THE MAGIC WORD: “[A] wild, relatable fantasy...This telling will resonate with (and tickle) the intended audience.” (Booklist)

Praise for THE MAGIC WORD: “Barnett’s narration hits all the right wry notes...while Parsley’s expressive, exaggerated drawings give the story the tight narrative arc, visual breeziness, and snappy comic rhythms.” (Publishers Weekly)

Praise for EXTRA YARN: “Understated illustrations and prose seamlessly construct an enchanting and mysterious tale.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

Praise for EXTRA YARN: “Klassen’s deadpan, stylized illustrations impeccably complement Barnett’s quirky droll writing.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
