"This captivating telling isn't a typical pulling-a-rabbit-out-of-a-hat tale.Young readers will not only enjoy the narrative but will also pick up the hidden cues woven into the illustrations. A recommended read-aloud for those looking for an unusual yet simple magician story." -School Library Journal "The razzle-dazzle magic performed by the two lead characters and the sizable cast of chubby rabbits is adeptly captured in the whimsical illustrations." --Booklist "Wry understatement provides giggles.but it's the prolonged investigation of the reversal of power that gives this tale the substance of a graphic novel. It's like an update on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"--one in which the apprentice succeeds. --Publishers Weekly "McLaren hits all the right notes.

A study in leporine whimsy with lingering poignance." --Kirkus.
