The Wishing of Biddy Malone

40 pp. | Philomel | January, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23404-7 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Denise. Clumsy, ill-tempered Biddy Malone stumbles upon a faerie village, where a beautiful boy asks what her wishes are. She asks for the ability to sing and dance and to have a loving heart. Biddy returns to her Irish village and through hard work achieves her wishes. Dreamy acrylic and charcoal illustrations in a muted palette suit this original twist on a three-wishes tale.
