Cute little story about being careful on what you wish for!

I like how this book shows that simply having all the wishes you could want doesn't solve all your problems; how it can even create more problems. I thought the interactions between the siblings were well written... realistic. I'm planning to buy a copy of this book for my daughter.

I needed a break after The Count of Monte Cristo so I reread some childhood favorites. This one stood up surprisingly well. Definitely one I will keep in my collection.

A re-read on audio. Lynda Bellingham's voice is wonderfully gravelly and expressive at the same time, a bit like Judi Dench. Just as wonderful as I remembered except the chapter about the "red Indians." That is very difficult to read now.

A favourite as a child,listened to excellent reading by Elizabeth Proud on RNIB connect radio,very simple tales of wishes that to wrong,but very enjoyable. Amusing.

Oh, I just love this book. It was fun to read it aloud to Ella, since my dad read it aloud to us when I was a kid.

Lovely children's tale.
