here is a simple 44 page beginning Chapter book, which frankly I had never
heard of till I found it in my library seeking more books by this author.
Is quite cute.
Magnolia's Mixed-Up Magic
by Joan Lowery Nixon
Needs a spell check. blank pages are pictures.
For Grades 2 - 4.
From the Book Jacket:
In a hushed voice Magnolia Possum read the magic spell.
Dirty socks and ginger beer, Icky, sticky, disappear!
With an "Abracadabra!" Magnolia pointed at poor Bernard Beaver and - poof! -
he was gone.
Magnolia Possum's Grandma has bought a dusty old magic book from Mrs. Fox's
store. But alas, when they go to look for the solutions to the magic tricks,
the last pages are missing! Where could they be? And how will Magnolia ever
make Bernard Beaver appear again?
In this funny beginning reader, children will delight in Magnolia's antics
and silly escapades as she finds herself in a predicament with no easy
answers. But that's not all. Not only has Mr. Beaver vanished in thin air,
but Magnolia gets herself into just as crazy a plight!

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
