5.0 out of 5 stars Family Favorite, September 11, 2001
By 
Book Worm (OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken (Paperback)
Our entire family loves this book. How can you resist a chicken in a tutu, a magic chicken at that, and a magic pickle? This is such a cute book and we love the fact that it's all about working together to solve a problem (even if it's one you've created yourself). My 3 love it and can identify with the characters. We also love the Revenge of the magic chicken, but alas it is now out of print (check your library).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken - very Funny, September 27, 2000
By 
Anne Bird (Santa Clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken (Paperback)
Very funny. My 4 and 6 year old loved it. The characters try to one up each other and it goes awry with the Magic Chicken. It lets the kids figure out a solution to the problem before the Magic chicken and that makes them feel good. It also teaches them some good morals. But mostly it's funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tale of cooperation, January 14, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken (Paperback)
Lester and Munsinger have created a trio of magicians who conjure up trouble and laughter. The drawings come alive across the page spread, and the moral leaves no doubt that there's more to come
