Reading: WISH - Chris Saunders (writer/illustrator)

Wish is the story of a very lucky young bunny named Rabbit, who one day is granted not one but three wishes of his choosing. Never having even had one wish at his disposal before, Rabbit wants to do things right so goes one at a time to visit his friends Mouse, Fox, and Bear, asking each for his ideas on what would be a good wish. The results are not only surprising for Rabbit, they also make all his choices so much easier in this charming, beautifully-rendered picture book where even the magic of friendship is stronger than that of a wish. Author Chris Saunders's illustrations are frame-worthy, some of the most beautiful artwork this reader's every seen in kid's literature, the book's message simple but in its way equally profound. A wonderful, touching tale. 5/5 stars
