The Dragon of Doom by Bruce Coville
When Moongobble the magician moves to town, Edward is eager to become his new apprentice. It turns out, though, that Moongobble isn’t much of a magician after all — every time he tries a spell, he ends up turning something into cheese. In fact, he’s about to lose his authority to practice magic if he can’t prove himself proficient by completing three difficult tasks… This short children’s novel provided my girls and me with an hour’s worth of delightful entertainment. We listened to the charming version produced by Full Cast Audio. As we listened to The Dragon of Doom, we laughed together often because Bruce Coville’s sense of humor is appealing to both children and adults. Read the rest.
Being able to magically conjure cheese could come in handy when the fridge is empty and I don’t feel like going out to the store. “Hocus pocus!…Yay, a cheese lamp!”
