The Great Montefiasco

32 pp. | Star Bright | February, 2005 | Trade ISBN 1-59572-008-1 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Redlich. The great Montefiasco is a not-so-great magician whose tricks go all wrong. To help, he hires the Fabulous (and clumsy) Betty. Though her assistance elevates his blunders to comical height, he realizes that their mistakes are more entertaining than any ordinary magic trick. The detailed art and the story's overpowering theme and romance might appeal more to adults than children.
