Books with title The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Have you ever wished that instead of having to do your chores all by yourself that someone--or something--would help you get them done faster? That's exactly the way the sorcerer's apprentice felt one day when the sorcerer left him all alone to clean the castle, so he tried to do some magic of his own, and ended up in a bubbly mess! Ultimately the young apprentice finds that passion and hard work, tempered with patience and discipline, can make the most magical dreams come true.

How can the Sorcerer, a brilliant inventor, possibly clean up after himself when he spends all of his time working? His solution — he invents a robot Apprentice to solve his clutter problem! But when the Apprentice is left to clean up the workshop, he comes up with an idea of his own. What if the Apprentice invented his own helper? In this electric retelling of the classic Sorcerer's Apprentice story, you will find a cautionary tale about leaping before you look!
