Stories and Magic Dust

Little readers of "Stories and Magic Dust" toss three ingredients into the big white cauldron and a story is created, just for them. A skeleton, wizard, dragon, mouse and wind—these ingredients are turned into magic dust that transforms into a special bedtime story.

The reader decides who stars! Theres a story of a skeleton whos afraid of a mouse, a story about a wizard who makes a dragon turn colors, a story about a frozen castle where the wind blows and more. The cauldron gives life to ten stories in all. Some of the same characters and references appear in more than one story. In each tale, the child participates in the action by pushing, touching or shaking. Theres an entire tiny, magical world living in the tablet! What will the story be tonight?

The stories are written by Marie-Florence Gros, illustrated by Bertrand Dubois, with music by Jean-Marie Leau. Translation by Eve Lindemuth Bodeux. English narration by Bobbin Bean. French narration by Marina Carrère dEncausse.
