(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin M. Barry. In this rhyming retelling of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," the lazy, chore-avoiding apprentice invites a sly vampire salesman into the wizard's house to demonstrate a vacuum cleaner. The diabolical machine sucks up the entire house, but the wizard arrives in time to rescue his penitent apprentice. Gray-scale illustrations with touches of color emphasize the creative tale's wild action. An author's note about retellings is appended.
