Readers who will like this: Children who collect things. Children who have made a wish and decided they already had what they wanted. Children who like animals or magic.
Rating/Response: 3; This book kept my attention the whole way through. Sylvester is an easy character to connect to and the story has you wishing for a good ending.
One question you would ask before a read-aloud: Have you ever made a wish before? Have you ever wished something, then hoped that it would not come true?
