Poof!

(3) K-3 When the baby cries, the wizard's wife says it's his turn to change the baby. So change the baby he does: he waves his wand, and "POOF!"--the baby becomes a cat. It's his wife's turn to feed the cat, but "POOF!"--she changes the cat into a dog. Sketchy drawings complement and extend the silly text, while the surprise ending is satisfying and perfect for this tale of changes.
