Bring back the Wizard!

This is one of my all-time favorite children's books! I'm so happy that I still have my copy from childhood since the book is now out of print. However, I have 2 young children and would love to buy a new copy for them to enjoy, especially since mine is falling apart from overuse. This is a wonderful story for kids and adults alike, and teaches a great life-lesson. If there were a petition I could sign to bring it back into production, I would gladly sign it!

A must read for ALL children!!!

This is my favorite book, and I'm 25 years-old. It's a shame it is no longer available as a new purchase. I've been enjoying this book before I could read, and it always makes me feel good about myself a little bit more afterwards. If you have a child (or an adult) who is questioning their purpose or place in life, give them this book. It makes you realize you're exactly who you need to be. It's a great story!!

magical story teaching self-esteem with great illustrations

Ever wished you could be someone else? Tired of being you? Meet a little mouse who was so tired of being himself that he went to the wizard for a magic potion. The potion worked but as all stories with morals, it works in a suprising way. The illustrations are wonderful. I first read the story to my children over 26 years ago. Now am reading it to my grandson and also using it in selfesteen workshops and seminars I teach. Worth getting a copy -shame it's out of print. I fantasize creating a play based on it. Love to hear from anyone out there who also loves this story as much as I do. Peace and blessings, a transformed mouse.
