The Magic Word by Mac Barnett

3.0

Madcap and sure to be a readaloud hit, it's a fun take on a familiar schtick. Of course Paxton finds that having his every wish granted isn't much fun without his friends and family around to enjoy it with him, but young audiences will still enjoy the ride, punctuated by yells of "Alakazoomba!" and exuberantly illustrated in bright yellows and oranges. Lively and lots of fun.
