Tomorrow's Wizard by Patricia MacLachlan. The six connected stories in this book reminded me of fairy tales. They're all about a wizard named tomorrow, his apprentice, and the wishes they fulfil as their job. There are also a shrewish girl, beautiful girls, a giant, and a talking horse. Cute, but a little obvious. It's definitely what I think of as a "J" book in that regard.
Ben didn't want us to read it to him because it had no pictures. We tried telling him to make the pictures in his head, but he wasn't having anything to do with it.
