Author Description

A girl has a wand, and if it touches something, it becomes something that rhymes with it. The cover shows a flying moose, and the moose has wings because it started as a goose, and "goose" rhymes with "moose". The fourth picture is a big duck on wheels, and that's because it was first a truck, trucks are big, and "truck" rhymes with "duck". The last two words are "yikes" and "run". The reason it ends with "yikes" and "run" is because a chair turns to a bear. They could have only called it "The Wand" because it doesn't say, "1, 2, 3, the magic wand touched the mouse" and because everyone knows the wand is magic. Picture 3 is cool because a car is a star, but that might be enough.
