Mercer Mayer's classic story, The Wizard Comes to Town, is back.

Mrs. Beggs has a problem. When Wizard Extraordinaire, Z.P. Alabasium, comes to stay at her boarding house, things go horribly wrong. A hat turns into a beaver, a giant turtle appears in the hallway, and a wheelchair flies out the front door -- carrying Old Man Blagget! And what's worse, Mrs. Beggs' guests tell her that if Z.P. Alabasium doesn't leave, they will. Just how will Mrs. Beggs stop a Wizard Extraordinaire before he does more than turn her dress into a tutu? This hilarious tale told by award-winning author/illustrator Mercer Mayer is filled with intricate, nostalgic illustrations that will delight parents and children alike. Hardcover.
