Product Description:
Sometimes that very thin line between illusion and reality is not as clearly defined as we would like it to be. 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.

I am a children's magician who bought this book after seeing it on Reading Rainbow. I buy a book for every one of my library shows, and after reading it to the children as part of the show (with the help of my trusty side kick, a sheep dog puppet), we donate the book to the library. This book featured the three most important things relating to the show I was performing at the time : A dog, and child, and a mysterious old retired magician.

I liked this story. The storyline is simple but the pictures lead you to ponder on the story afterwards a little more.

The Garden of Abdul Gasazi was given to my husband and me when it was first published because we owned (and brought to work every day)a white bull terrier.

Now I am ordering a copy for a niece and nephew in hopes that they too will become fans. This one's a classic. ... Read More

We chose four stars for this book because it has a lot of expression but not much detail. The reason we did not choose five stars is because the first time we read it we thought it was kind of sad and did not like the trick Gasazi pulled on Alan. -Maggie and Wyatt, NES

This book was very enthralling to me. It was about a boy who has to take care of someone's evil dog. One day, they go for a walk and near a dog-forbidden magical garden. The leash breaks, and the boy must go find the dog. He goes up to the house of Abdul, and finds out that the dog has been transformed into a duck! He goes back home very worried. When the owner of the dog returns, he tells her the sad story. Then, all of a sudden, the dog appears.
