Once again, your favorite daddy-daughter duo buckles up for a wild bedtime story-this one about the time a wizard turned Andy into a frog!

It's bedtime, so you know what that means-Estella is ready for another totally true story from her dad's childhood. In tonight's story, Andy is on a class trip to New York City, where he crosses paths with a wizard.

But Andy quickly learns that making fun of a grumpy wizard is not a good idea. Before he can say "RIBBIT!" Andy has been transformed into a frog.

With the help of his old pal Wendy, Andy will have to hop his way through the Big Apple to reverse the spell in this delightful early reader graphic novel filled with epic adventure, shenanigans, and belly laughs.
