Life is Magic
Publisher: Andersen Press
Flamboyant magician Monsieur Lapin captivates audiences with his spectacular tricks. His brilliant assistant, Houdini the rabbit, loves magic and has a flair for motivating the team and taking care of everything. When he accidentally transforms Monsieur Lapin into a rabbit, Houdini is determined that the show must go on. Stepping into the role of Magician Extraordinaire, he devises bigger, better and more daring illusions, which have the crowds enthralled.
But when the initial excitement of being centre of attention fades, Houdini realises that he has neglected his friends and, noticing that Monsieur Lapin is missing the limelight, he plans his greatest trick yet: to turn everything back to normal.
This delightful tale about working together and helping your friends is full of warmth and humour. The stylish illustrations are teeming with amusing details, providing an additional visual narrative. Budding young magicians can follow the instructions hidden inside the dust jacket to create their own magic trick.
