What a fun story – the `snot nosed toddler` was an adorable twist. How I wished when I was small that I had similar talents. If one opens their mind, it makes you wonder if there are really wizards walking around us along with children with special talents – we just don’t notice them. I love stories that travel into the supernatural world in this manner. Good job!

Red Tash's The Wizard Takes a Holiday is a fast fun read. It tells the story of a wizard who is taking a vacation, going to a drive in movie. A wizard's job is never done, however, as he quickly discovers.
This is a free short story that is a great introduction to Red Tash's quirky but fun writing style. It is engaging and can be easily read in one setting. It would be a good choice for your kindle or smartphone when you want a short read, like on the bus or waiting at the doctor's office, etc.

The Wizard is at the drive-in, watching families trying to settle in for a night of watching movies, when a little girl walks up to him and offers him a cheese snack.
All of a sudden, in the back area of the drive-in, there is an ogre. Rather large and playing with a tire against a truck. The wizard saves the day and the drive-in. Hooray!
Cute short story, will continue to read Red Tash's works. Enjoyable.

Cute little short story about a old wizard attending a movie. I enjoyed reading it.
About 70% of this 'book' is advertisement for other products from this author as well as including a plea to review the 'free' book. It was a big turnoff and left me irritated.

This was a quick, fun read about a wizard trying to watch a movie at a drive-in theater. Enjoyed it very much.
Cute story but only a couple of pages long - the rest of the book is to showcase the authors other works.
Funny and enjoyable short read with memorable characters.
Not a very good, but did make me laugh :)
