When his friend Rosie is skeptical of his choices, Paxton chases her off with a walrus too - but then has second thoughts. The Queen of England calls on her trusty spy, Mac B., once again. A magic word indeed! Soon, all his wishes come true from cookies and milk to walruses chasing everyone he doesn't like to the North Pole. His babysitter, looking exhausted in a sea of mess and destruction, asks "What's the magic word?" and instead of the culturally-acceptable "please" Paxton says "Alakazoomba". Heymeyer of 23 Larch Street asked for a cookie." Thus the tale of hilarity begins. Of course, the first name that springs to mind in this case is Mac Barnett and his latest book is no exception.
