Hee-Haw-Dini and the Great Zambini

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Kennedy. Hee-Haw the donkey and mouse Chester yearn to be magicians, but the farm animals scoff at them. When a real magician's chest falls from a passing circus train, the pair practices all night and impresses the barnyard gang. Energetic acrylic paintings capture the friends' belief in their dream. The lighthearted story's cheeriness helps distract from the too convenient setup and ending.
