If Jane and Mark and Katharine and Martha had stopped to think, they might have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, but a lakeful of magic causes extraordinary and unexpected events. By the end of vacation, with an unwilling sly old turtle, and Ali Baba's forty thieves, they help stepfather Mr. Smith save his failing bookstore in a most surprising way.
The first two titles in a gripping, dramatic and completely engrossing new series - designed to engage reluctant readers (high interest, low-level reading), and anyone interested in battles, history, time travel, adventure, great stories, and gadgets galore!
In an interactive, large-format concept book that includes a watch with movable hands, youngsters follow a young boy and his dog throughout their day, learning about how to tell time and how to read a clock.

At bedtime a small boy tries to control ten insatiable monsters demanding food and creating chaos throughout the house.
