Colorfully homespun John and Martha think about how best to use their three wishes. Two wishes down, and they have gained only sausages (John's unintended wish)--and those are stuck to John's nose (Martha's unintended wish). Souhami keeps the tale spare and humorous. Readers will revel in the zesty final portrait of the happy couple toasting their ultimate good fortune.

In a traditional tale from India, an elderly woman takes a perilous journey across the forest and back. With the help of her granddaughter, she outsmarts the wolf, bear, and tiger that would like to eat her for dinner. Brilliantly colored illustrations, rendered in watercolor ink and charcoal, use the page in varied and effective ways and emphasize the dramatic confrontations between the characters.
