This is a delightful little book. A LITTLE book. I really wish it had been longer, because of the excellent nature of the material, but at least it's got gorgeous paper and cover art.

It follows the story of a few wizards, including Tomorrow Wizard (yes, that's his name) and his apprentice Murdoch. The two couldn't be more different--Murdoch doesn't just want to help humans, he wants to BE human.

It's a beautiful little story with enjoyable characters--the grumpy wizard thing is a bit overdone, but McLachlan manages to make it fresh and enjoyable. Murdoch is a delightful character. Both are written well, their dialogue sticking very well to their personalities.

Frankly, even without the story, I think I would have bought it alone for the cover art. It's expertly done and well-colored, so be sure to savor it.

This is a sweet (if short) read for fantasy buffs, especially those of you who love wizard stories.

This is a mystical little collection of short tales about a wizard, an apprentice wizard, a horse, and the people of a village. These stories are sweet and innocent and funny. There is nothing evil or scary in these stories. The illustrations are wonderful. This is a great read-aloud for kids who aren't yet ready for the complexity, scariness and length of the Harry Potter books.

I read tomorrows wizard when I was in 3rd grade and loved it. This book basicaly involves the training of a youg wizard by tomorrows wizard. I found this book very amusing and should be read by the light at heart. Allthough this book isn't exactly a replacement for Harry Potter or the circle of magic it is certinly and wonderful book.

I loved this book. I liked how it was about wizards and how some wizards hear wishes and some others only hear voices. It was a mystical book for me.
