About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy, silly mood or when you want to demonstrate that even the most well-intended plans can result in a magnificent, bubbly mess. It is an ideal choice for the child who is constantly asking What happens if? and thrives on physical, slapstick humor. Wallop and Whizz are two eccentric wizards who decide to brew a bottle of everlasting fizz, only to find that their concoction is far more powerful and persistent than they ever imagined. Through bouncy, rhyming verse, the story explores the themes of creative curiosity and the chaotic responsibility that comes with making a discovery. At 24 pages with vivid illustrations, it is a perfect bridge for 6 to 9 year olds who are transitioning from simple picture books to more complex rhythmic structures. Parents will appreciate the way it turns a stressful situation into a lighthearted lesson on teamwork and problem solving.
