This is a book that kids will enjoy. They will like the story, the fun somewhat abstract yet clear drawings, and the hard to forget poetry. The book is about a sleepy old funny looking wizard, Bill, with a beard to his knees, a big hat for thinking, and glasses to see. Bill can do anything and the animals take advantage of his skill to obtain their desires. A tortoise asks that Bill give her a rabbit's long ears, a giraffe wants wings, and a zebra wants pink stripes. But the wise owl thinks this is a mistake.The book is a superb tool to cause children to think on their own or with their parent's prompting about the things they want. Does it make sense to seek these things? When does it make sense and when not?
