You and Me and the Wishing Tree

(4) K-3 A brilliant orange wishing tree grants a child and a parent a happy but unusual day of wish fulfillment. Rhymes in the parent's voice enumerate the day's pleasures: the child flies, breakfasts with bears, plays with penguins, and becomes invisible. The overly sentimental text conveys the parent's deep love for the child. Colorful, surreal mixed-media illustrations capture the whimsy of the child's wishes and the joy they generate.
