Agee brings charm, empathy, and humor to this story of a magician whose boss gives him one last chance to "pull a rabbit out of your hat--or else." The deadpan delivery of the text expertly punches up the humor in the illustrations, and Milo's unlikely savior, an uncannily graceful bear, is a natural for situation comedy: popping out of a hat in a crowded restaurant, hiding in a mailbox, and so on.
