Mailbox Magicby Nancy Poydar Ages 4-8 |
PreS-Gr1-Will, who poses as a magician in flowing cape, thinks the whole concept of mail is magical, and he wishes desperately that something would come addressed to him. Finally he sends away for a personalized cereal bowl by filling out labels from Magic Charms cereal boxes. After weeks of waiting, the child is elated when his package finally arrives. Then he is off to find a cereal company that sends horses. A short sketch of how to send a letter may inspire young chidren to try their own "mailbox magic." Buoyant, colorful illustrations carry out the exuberance of the story.-Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information. — School Library Journal
