Chris Saunders

An adorable bunny is blessed with three wishes in Chris Saunders’ Wish. Saunders’ sing-song text doesn’t rise above the pedestrian; however, readers will find Saunders’ final message and illustrations so charming and beautiful that they’re unlikely to care.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.

Wish by Chris Saunders is a charming, whimsical tale about Rabbit, who has been chosen by not one, but three wishes. He asks several if his friends what they might wish for. In the end, he still isn't sure what he wants so he makes three wishes not for himself, but for all beings, inspired by the wishes of his friends. Later, they each share the gifts of the wishes with Rabbit. A great resource for teaching young readers the value of lovingkindness, and generosity. I read this with my cubs show more and we all enjoyed it. Highly recommended addition to any young reader's library, and would make a great storytime read.

Wish by Chris Saunders is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. I found this book adorable! The lovely illustrations with cute little animal friends and a generous nature added so much to the book! A bunny gives his three wishes away to his friends but that doesn't leave him with nothing. Cute story.

There can not be enough h’s after this AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh. So adorable. This should be a new classic. I can guarantee it will be a favorite at storytime. Rabbit has captured some wishes, and he asks his friends what they would wish for, at the same times asking himself if that is what he should make his wish. The illustrations are the right mix of soft and cute, but not too baby or fuzzy. They are art i would hang on my wall, and while sometimes the story loses it cadence, it doesn’t show more matter because you are full into the story and the actions taking place. show less
