"Few years ago I met a boy who asked me if I believe in magic... "Well" "that's a tough question' I told him The next day I wrote the story about Wizard Bill and the animals especially for this kid. I don't know whether he believed me or not, but I do know he enjoyed the story very much - and had a lot of fun... When I finished telling him the story about Wizard Bill, that kid mentioned to me that he liked all the animals in the story, except the Owl - "Can you take the owl out of the story?" He asked me. "Sorry, I can't" I had to reply, "If I will take the owl out of this story, he will find another story to get in... so I might as well let him stay.... " Aant Umansky ( The Author) "Please, Bill - Requests the rhinoceros calf - I'd like a long neck Just like a giraffe. "With pinches of stardust I take from the air, Some honey in water, the hair of a bear, I mix my elixirs with magical signs To give to the animals waiting in line." The snakes on the wand writhe and whisper and laugh, And rhino's neck stretches out like a giraffe" "It's a whimsical bedtime story for kids that could spark their own imaginations. What would they do if they had wings or big floppy elephant's ears or long necks like giraffes? The colorful illustrations are exceptionally good for a children's story and help to hold a child's interest.. " (J.

Now, his daughter, Isabel, is the inspiration for his stories that are replete with playful insights into children and the world around them. This story has roots in one of Isabel's adventures. Intrepid explorer and fearless hunter of earthworms, she once happened upon a Southern Toad outside of its burrow. She carried her new friend around with her in an old shoebox that she lined with leaves and ventilated with a pencil. Eventually, he was released, unharmed, back to his burrow. In addition to "The Great Southern Toad Encounter," Isabel and her daddy have had the pleasure of the company of one baby alligator, a mile of pythons, multiple ferrets, swarms of butterflies and dragonflies, battallions of beetles, and many other types of flora and fauna from her two homes: the United States and Brazil. You will see some of these animals reflected in How Much Does a Whale Weigh?-another of BC Dee's creations published by Hairy Dog Books.
