You Are My Wish

(4) PS Illustrated by Satomi Ichikawa. On a picnic excursion, a doting grandmother bear describes what she and her grandchild mean to each other. "I am your fountain; / you are my splish. / I am your penny; / you are my wish." The sentiments will likely be clearer to adults than children, but the cheerful watercolor scenes do help explain the verses, and the antics of the young bear's stuffed animals add kid appeal.
