An 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.

MY REVIEW
Bizard The Bear was minding his own business when a gust of wind lodges a wand on his head. It’s a magic wand that grants wishes. The neighborhood creatures line up for wishes and soon the magic isn’t so fun and it becomes tedious. This is when Bizard makes the most terrible mistake and is tricked into granting a wish that has dire consequences for everyone in the forest.
I very much enjoyed this story, along with the cute illustrations. I especially liked how the animals were a community and, when push came to shove, they banded together. It’s sure to delight children and elicit many a giggle.
