The publisher says...

This lamp is enchanted and I am the genie. I'll grant all your wishes, but don't be a meanie... 

When a friendly frog, a greedy rabbit and a robot with a short fuse discover a magic lamp, chaos follows...and friendship is found. 

The CBCA judges say...

The illustrator of this unusual and refreshing book creates a fun mood through the use of bright, layered colours and great expression that enhance the narrative tension maintained throughout this story about a frog, a rabbit and a robot. Karmazina has been able to elevate these mad, crazy characters to a whole new level. She demonstrates the ability to tell the story through all elements of the book including, the cover and the endpapers. Her characterisation is strong and she has used acrylic paint to great expressive effect. The economy of the text has been successfully taken up by the illustrator making this a hugely enjoyable book. Karmazina’s witty and clever illustrations make this a book that rewards on each subsequent reading.
