I received an ARC of this title for a fair review:

This wordless graphic novel is filled to the brim with creativity and imagination! Churro goes to see a magician and is delighted by the show. When he goes to head home, he accidently receives the magician's magic wand and hilarity ensues! Cloud sail boats, skyscrapers made from bedside tables filled with miniature people, suitcases that turn into dinosaurs...this book is great fun for early readers who can learn how to tell their own stories along with the cute illustrations.

I thought that this was such a sweet picture book for children , although there is no words the illustrations take the reader through the story. It also gives young readers the chance to use their imagination and say what they think the characters will be saying. I love a book that draws children into it and engages them. There is also no barrier with this book , children of any reading level can enjoy it . It is very well designed and beautifully done !

Review of Churro and the Magician by Gastón Caba

Lovely children's book, well laid out with beautiful illustrations. This book has no words, and my daughter was a little taken aback and shocked by this to begin with and refused to look at the book. When she got over the shock of a book having no words, she gave it a go saying what she saw was happening in each picture, and really enjoyed the book. Recommended

Churro the bunny misses the bus while daydreaming about a magic show. After seeing the show, Churro manages to get a hold of the wand and causes mayhem while turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

While Churro actually did turn trains into caterpillars and cars into dinosaurs, this is a sweet little book that shows the power of the imagination.

The illustrations are whimsical and fun, (there is no text) and this would appeal to very young/beginning readers.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book doesn't have any printed words, probably a technical bug, but my daughter still enjoyedit. She looked at the picture and told me a delightful story of a mischievous bunny named Churro, and his magic wand. There's so many details she picked up from the graphic novel- like art works.

In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words is true!

This is just such a fun book. Without using any words the reader is swept up in a fanatical journey of Churro and his desire to explore the world of magic. I love books that don't use words. I think that they open up a whole different type of world to emerging storytellers. While I may read the book one way someone else might see it a different way. And from someone who grew up refusing to read because they wanted to make up their own stories based on the pictures this book just speaks to me. Such a lovely tale, and fun art work. A great book that I will for sure be recommending during reader advisory.

Thank you so much Clarion Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy.

A book with no words, just pictures to tell the story.

The illustrations were fairly engaging and told the story quite well but I found that I didn’t engage with the characters as easily as I expected. I would definitely read another book by the same author.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Churro and the Magician is a wordless picture book that provides a wonderful springboard of numerous language activity opportunities. The illustrations are detailed and colourful. Readers can provide their own narrative while reading/interpreting the pictures. Churro and the Magician would be especially valuable for young learners and second language learners as a language development tool.
I would add this book to my collection.
Thank you to Clarion Books (formerly HMH Children's Books) and NetGalley for opportunity to review this ARC.

An adorable picture book about Churro the bunny and his sudden adventure. My daughter is three and she was able to follow along and could even make up stories of her own. The illustrations were cute and the book is great for the imagination. I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Readers join Churro on an adventurous day. They see him miss the school bus because he is staring at a magician's show poster. He attends the show and afterward sees the magician and gets his magic wand. From there, the adventures take off as Churro uses it to change items as he saw the magician do. Elementary level readers will appreciate the humor and fun as crazy things happen all over town. It's also a great discussion point for being careful with unknown objects. In the end, the magician joins the fun and it's left to the reader to decide if everything gets restored.

This was such a cute chapter book with no words, just the pictures telling you the story of Churro who misses the bus for school and finds a wand in the street and starts using it to make mischief until the magician it belongs to comes to take his wand back and fixes everything that Churro messed up.

Thanks to Clarion Books and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book in e-book form. All opinions in this review are my own.

This wordless graphic novel will invite young readers to interpret Churro's story from the adorable illustrations.

Definitely very imaginative, but after looking through it once, my daughter and I weren't enthralled enough to find this book a "keeper" or one to revisit again. It was just an okay book.

Very imaginative! This is a fun idea that I'm sure could lead to other sequels of mischief and mayhem--which kids love. Personally, I enjoyed the absence of words, but it will be hard to get parents on board with that idea-- since they usually use kids graphic novels as a way to get kids interested in reading.

This was a cute book with a fun character. I like that it had no words, so that when reading it with children, they get to put their own words to the graphics and tell the story their own way as the story goes along. I think this book will be enjoyed by anyone who reads it.
