It certainly wasn't the day that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this bizarre and eerie place -- where strange topiary trees loomed -- the evil visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. And even after Alan escaped, the spell of Gasazi still seemed to penetrate into his everyday world. In this extraordinary, unusual, and unique picture book, Chris Van Allsburg explores both the real and surreal worlds with incredible deftness. In doing so, he has created exquisite and beautiful images that will continue to haunt readers long after they have left the enchanted garden of Abdul Gasazi. Alan accidentally allows Miss Hester's dog Fritz to enter a magician's garden and is horrified when he thinks Fritz has been turned into a duck. "This is without question one of the best and most original picture books in years".-- New York Times Book Review. A Caldecott Honor Book. AnnotationYoung Alan accidentally allows the dog he's walking to enter a magician's garden. When he runs after the dog he soon realizes that the garden is anything but ordinary. Illustrated with b&w drawings. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 1979.
