Rhymes, Spells & Goof-Ups — Wizard Lessons Just Got Real!

A hilarious rhyming adventure where Jeeter learns that success takes practice!
Jeeter the Erf is back — and he’s learning to fly! But becoming a wizard isn’t as easy as it looks (especially if you're afraid of falling into a lake). In this whimsical rhyming tale by Scott E. Sutton, Jeeter faces flubs, fears, and magical mishaps on his journey to learn something new.


Luckily, with help from his wizard friend Dundee, Jeeter discovers the magic of sticking with it — and that no one gets it right the first time.


This laugh-out-loud story is perfect for kids navigating new challenges — from learning to read, to riding a bike, to doing long division (or wizard math).


Perfect for:
  • Kids ages 3-9 learning something new or facing big feelings
  • Parents who love stories with life lessons baked into fun
  • Teachers teaching growth mindset, practice, or persistence
  • Fans of rhyming books with colorful, quirky characters
Why Kids (and Grown-Ups) love it:
  • Written entirely in rhyme - fun to read aloud again and again 
  • Illustrated with colorful, fun characters and magical mayhem
  • Delivers a positive message about trying, failing, and trying again
  • A great companion to the original The Family of Ree - or a magical standalone read

Take a peek inside:
"Hey look," said Jeeter, to a Beebee crowd,
"The Wizard is floating just like a cloud!"

Then Dundee said, "Float me down to the ground."
And he landed quite softly, not making a sound.

"It's your turn, Jeeter," the Wizard did say,
"To practice the things that you studied today."

So Jeeter, like Dundee, carefully stood
And stretched out his arms like Dundee would.

When he said the command it came out like a squeak.
"Much louder!" said Dundee. "That's much too weak."

Jeeter said it again, much louder this time,
And POOF! He was floating, yes floating just fine.

"That's great!" said Dundee. "Your floating is good.
You're floating just like a real Wizard would."

Meet the Characters:

Beebee

A Tree drops an acorn onto the ground, so they can have a Beebee around – they help out the Trees and keep them quite clean. They’re the best helpers a Tree’s ever seen.
Erf

A Beebee will grow up to be one of the erfs, a Wizard’s assistant , they are tough, smart and very persistent.
Wizard
Someday an Erf will grow up to be one of the Wizard that take care of Ree.

The Wizards help run this place, way out there in outer space.
But, when they old as you will see, why they turn into a Talking Tree.
Gorbee

When a tree drops an acorn into the sea
A Gorbee will hatch out of it in a day or three.

Gorbees will grow to be a Sea Princess
and take care of the sea.
Sea Queen and Sea Princess

Sea Princesses help the Sea Queens get through
All the sea work they need to do.
And someday the Princesses will grow up to be
One of the Sea Queens that take care of Ree’s seas.

While the Wizards take care of the land and the trees
Sea Queens take care of all Ree’s seas
And who helps the with this sea watching chore?
The Sea Princesses do. That’s what they’re for.
Ready to see Jeeter take flight (or maybe fall into a lake)?
