WIZARD OF NO 3rd - 5th. 19 min. $49.50 US This program includes a study guide Sticking up for yourself isn't always easy, but it's worth it. That's the lesson young Billy learns after he smokes a cigarette, because he is afraid that his friends will think he is a "wimp" if he doesn't. The Wizard of No pops out of a soda can and helps Billy pinpoint the real problem; low self-esteem. He also shows him that he is the one with the real magic; the power to say "no" to protect himself from negative peer pressure. "A wonderfully acted fantasy that will inspire audiences of all ages to be assertive, and remind them addictions are unhealthy." - WILSON LIBRARY BULLETIN "The development of self-esteem, the understanding of media techniques, and the resisting of peer pressure are lessons that can't be stressed too often. This production reinforces these concepts effectively." - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
