The Magician's Hat

By: Malcolm Mitchell, Joanne Lew-Vriethoff

Narrated by: David de Vries

Super Bowl champion and literacy crusader Malcolm Mitchell presents the story of a magician who reveals an awe-inspiring treasure from his bag of tricks - books that make every kid's dream come true!

This is not your typical afternoon at the library. It's Family Fun Day, and a magical man with a big hat has suddenly appeared. A crowd gathers to see what kinds of tricks this surprise visitor will perform. That's when the Magician pulls off his favorite trick of all. He invites kids to reach into his hat to pull out whatever they find when they dig down deep. Soon - poof! - each child comes away with something better than they could've imagined - a book that helps them become whatever they want to be, and makes their dreams come true through words and the adventures that follow.

But as each child is swept into reading's powerful adventures, they can't help but wonder, What's really making the magic happen?

books are magical

the narrator performance of wording coverage was livid and well done. the experience was absolutely absorbing.

Magic within the Mind

Malcolm’s vision allows a child to see through words and pictures who they can become when someone shares. Bravo!!! Another touch down

Very Captivating Story

I love how the narrator tells the story! I also love the message for the reader!! My 5 year old absolutely adores this book! She can’t stop listening to the audio book paired with the book every night!
