Reviews"Exaggerated, cartoony figures with wide, expressive eyes populate the forest, and the simple paneling keeps the story focused. The book ends on a note of generosity. . . ." --The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books "Simple and silly."-- School Library Journal "Playful, cartoonish artwork matches the silly story in this easy-to-read graphic novel, which is full of jokes sure to keep elementary-schoolers giggling and a meaningful message about generosity, kindness, and being responsible. Episodic story structure and open panels will make this a good choice for emerging comics readers." --Booklist "Quirky fun, with a good message."-- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisAn ordinary bear gains extraordinary magical powers in this hilarious early graphic novel reader. Bear was just an average bear, until the day a tornado lodged an out-of-control wizard's wand in his head. Now he looks a bit like a cross between a bear and a unicorn. He is none too pleased, but it seems he might be stuck with the wand for the foreseeable future. Even worse, he now has the ability to grant wishes--something he wants no part of. He'd much rather spend his days dozing away. His friends give him a new name--Bizard the Bear Wizard--and he reluctantly accepts his new magical powers and starts granting wishes to everyone in the forest. But when the evil wolf and his bad guys threaten them all, Bizard knows it's time to embrace his magical destiny. Only he and his newly wanded head can save the day now. Along the way, Bizard's friends, Fox, Owl, and Squirrel, all bring their own brand of kooky support to his antics as he uses . . . and accidently misuses, his powers. From the talented author-illustrator Chrissie Krebs comes the first of two hilarious younger graphic novels about Bizard and his friends.
