His wish is granted. He hurries home to show his mother but she doesn't recognize him with his red wings. Sad, he returns to the wishing pond to wish his wings away. Once they were gone he realized he didn't want to be anything other than himself.

Response/Rating (1-4): I would rate this book 4 0ut of 4. It teaches children a few good lessons: be careful what you wish for and that just being yourself is important.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Has anyone ever made a wish? Has anyone every wanted something they did not have?
