The Magician's Hat — Malcolm Mitchell

During Family Fun Day at the library, a magician performs his favorite trick of all by telling the story of what led him to become a magician.  He invites kids to reach into his hat to pull out whatever they find when they dig down deep. Soon  - poof! -  each child comes away with something better than they could've imagined -- a book that lets them become whatever they want to be when they grow up. The magician and his hat prove that reading is a fun adventure that opens the world in magical ways.
