Description
A rhythmic, rhyming must-read for the child who loves magic! When a magician amazes Mila at her birthday party, she wants to become a magician just like her!
The magician makes it look so easy, but magic is trickier than Mila thought! Just when Mila’s dream feels like it might disappear, she discovers the magic secret in an unexpected place … and person.
"Hocus Pocus Practice Focus" is an inspiring, rhyming read-aloud that reveals a magician’s greatest secret — real magic happens when you prepare, practice, and persist!
Magicians work hard, just like dancers and singers. They don’t become great just by snapping their fingers!
