School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-6-Using the text as a guide, budding wizards can cook up potions and lotions of every sort. Apprentices are guided through eight chapters of projects dedicated to furthering various arts, such as horticulture, animal husbandry, and alchemy. Written as though an old wizard dictated the projects to his scribes, the book will delight readers. The "Shrunken Mandrake Heads" and "Kraken Slime" are sure to become favorites. In an introduction, readers are cautioned to use common sense and told not to drink or eat the potions. A black-and-red spider graphic indicates projects that require adult supervision. Instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. However, supplies may require a shopping trip ahead of time-not everything needed is necessarily a pantry item. Burnett does a fantastic job of bringing these projects to life with colorful illustrations-most decorative, some instructive-on every page. Fans of all that is wizardly will love this one.-Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA (c) Copyright 2010.

Publisher's Weekly Review
While Hogwarts wannabes await Harry Potter V, they can pass the time with The Book of Wizard Craft by Janice Eaton Kilby, Deborah Morgenthal and Terry Taylor, illus. by Lindy Burnett. Narrated by a 600-year-old wizard, this collection of 50 crafts goes beyond glitter and tissue paper projects, to include sewing a wizard's robe, making crystal candy and learning to read tea leaves. Between projects, kids can read stories of Celtic Shape Shifters and of King Arthur. ( Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Horn Book Review
Kids who like pottering around with crafts may enjoy this illustrated volume of wizard-themed projects, which includes instructions for making a sorcerer's hat, a crystal ball, and a patterned lampshade. Most require a lot of materials and are complicated to make, while the potion recipes warn readers that they must not be consumed. Information on poltergeists, the zodiac, and other mystical subjects is featured between projects. Ind. From HORN BOOK Fall 2001, (c) Copyright 2010.
