Hardback. Condition: Good. An ordinary bear gains extraordinary magical powers in this hilarious early graphic novel reader. Bear was just an average bear, until the day a tornado lodged an out-of-control wizard's wand in his head. Now he looks a bit like a cross between a bear and a unicorn. He is none too pleased, but it seems he might be stuck with the wand for the foreseeable future.     Even worse, he now has the ability to grant wishes--something he wants no part of. He'd much rather spend his days dozing away. His friends give him a new name--Bizard the Bear Wizard--and he reluctantly accepts his new magical powers and starts granting wishes to everyone in the forest.   But when the evil wolf and his bad guys threaten them all, Bizard knows it's time to embrace his magical destiny.
