What happens when you get to choose a wish? There are so many ways that you can spend those wishes, but Rabbit does not know to spend his wishes. He looks to his friends to see what they would get with their wishes. Instead of spending his wishes on himself, he instead gives them to his friends, but finds that he does not have any left for himself.

This is a cute little story of friendship, and how small simple acts can mean bigger things to friends. Loved the art work and the story flowed smoothly! Perfection!

Wish contains stunning illustrations and a cute storyline with a wonderful message. My daughter loved the whimsy of the illustrations and rhyme. Beautifully done.

This book is absolutely stunning, it's such a sweet read that really made me smile. But it's not just the writing or the story that's amazing, the artwork itself is absolutely gorgeous. Finn didn't care for this one as much, but it made my heart warm.

An adorable story about the importance of friendship, kindness & sharing. It's also a reminder that while we should care for our friends and family we should not entirely forget ourselves!

Reminiscent of Zen Ties, I enjoyed the storyline about friendship and selflessness. However, the computer-graphics style art was a big drawback for me.

A beautifully illustrated story about the power of kindness and friendship. This will quickly become a firm favourite of little ones and their parents.

I had the chance to read a preview copy of the book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, and I will be keeping an eye out for this one when it comes out!!

A real beautiful, touching book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading to my children. It conveyed a wonderful message - my little girl's interest in the book was held, and she wanted to engage and talk about it, which is always a good sign! I would definitely purchase this as a gift for another child.

A cute bunny is lucky enough to receive three wishes. The problem is that he has no idea what to wish for. He decides to ask his three friends, Fox, Bear and Mouse, what they would wish for and decides to wish for what they wanted. He now has no wishes left for himself. His friends, seeing he has no wishes left, share their bounty with him.

The illustrations in this picture book are delightful and charming. They are done in a pastel palette which gives them a dreamy, fantasy feel. I enjoyed the message about sharing and friendship. It was not overdone, yet still there. I enjoyed the cadence of the text, which made it an easy read. I read this to my granddaughter and although she might not have understood the full message, she really enjoyed the story and the illustrations. A great bedtime story or one to use when teaching about sharing.

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 and we all enjoyed it. Highly recommended addition to any young reader's library, and would make a great storytime read.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

One day a year, wishes fall from the sky, and three fall on Rabbit! Not knowing what to wish for, he talks with three friends, but does not know if their wishes feel right for him. But he grants their wishes anyway, and feels sad when there is not a wish left for him. This gentle rhyming book flows well, and while adults can see where the text is headed, children will be pleased with the ending. The pictures are superb. The library spread alone makes my heart pitter-patter. This gentle book about kindness and friendship will find a pl;ace on many shelves.

There's just something about children's books that rhyme. They are such a delight and joy to read.
Wish has two or four lines of narrative on (about) every second page. The first two rhyme with one another and the last two rhyme with each other. It's glorious to read aloud as the words just dance off your tongue. I really loving reading rhyming stories! And while the narrative is set-up in a traditional rhyming scheme the illustrations are soft and modern in a way that brings the story to life.
Chris Saunders gives us a story about a bunny/rabbit and his three wishes. As he's unsure what to do with his wishes he asks his friends. Fox obviously has the best wish as it's about writing stories (lol). Each of our three characters that the bunny asks give a different response. Their answers are of course geared towards things they cannot do. I'm betting you can guess the end of this cute little children's story. That's right the bunny grants his friends wishes and only after realizes he's left none for himself. But, as with most children's stories, it's all okay as his friends share their wishes with him.
It's a pretty, cute little story about being generous and sharing. The perfect length for a bedtime story or mid-day nap. I think any child would enjoy this one. But let's face it, none of those things matter as it's all about the rhyming.

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

What an adorable, delightful, little book! “Wish” is a sweet and lovely tale about generosity and kindness.

When I opened this wonderful book, my first thoughts were that it was so beautifully illustrated. I loved the gentle colours that helped to create a magical illusion where wishes come true and adventures are shared with friends. All of the characters were really adorable and charming as well, especially the fox.

The story itself is a warm and emotional tale about a selfless rabbit and his friends. What would you wish for if you had three wishes?

“Wish” conveys a positive message about the magic of friendship and hope which is a valuable life lesson to take forward.

The wonderfully written, rhythmic text is straight-forward and easy to understand for small ones and it is nicely complemented by the very appropriate, soft and dreamy artwork. This gorgeous book is very well balanced between the story and the message it delivers. I found this book so entertaining and I really appreciated the lovely winsome tale.

“Wish” is a heart-warming story that would be perfect for bedtime or any other time and would make an ideal gift for any child. I would definitely recommend it and I think the book would make a lovely addition to a family library.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the complimentary ARC. This is my honest and totally voluntary opinion.

A sweet story about the value of kindness, of putting the needs and desires of others ahead of yourself. Rabbit doesn't even agonize over his decisions. He cares for his friends almost without thought.

This sweet book has charming illustrations. My rating 4.25.

Rabbit is excited to get not just one, but three wishes. He never thought he’d have wishes so he goes to his friends to ask what they would wish for. After hearing each of their choices, he asks “Is this wish for me?” Once he makes his wishes does he regret them or is he happy with his choices?

The illustrations are absolutely charming, and the story is caring. The rhyming is gentle. I like how Rabbit and his friends share their thoughts and encourage each other. I did feel the ending needs elaboration by a parent/adult. The story gives a good opportunity to talk about being careful about choices as well as sharing with others. I can recommend this to parents who would supervise the reading with young children.

Beautiful graphics! I found the story quite inspiring and promoting friendship and kindness, although at the end I felt like the plot didn't flow clearly to finish the story. I think maybe I was expecting the third person narrator voice to take over and finish the story saying something like "and all the friends went into more adventures together", instead of having one of the characters finish the story with a sentence.

It is a cute and positive book perfect for children to learn kindness and the value of friendship.

At the magical time of year when wishes take flight, Rabbit has the good fortune to catch not one, not two, but three wishes. Never having caught a wish before, he asks his friends for advice on what to wish for.

Mouse would wish to fly, Fox would wish for the power to inspire others by writing stories and Bear’s wish would be to own a boat. Rabbit helps all of them and learns that a good deed can be better than any wish.

If for no other reason, you must check out the absolutely stunning illustrations in this picture book! They perfectly capture the sense of wonder and beauty that the author, Chris Saunders, attempts to convey in the story.

While the rhyme and meter are somewhat clunky and forced at times, this is a cute story about friendship and generosity that will appeal to kids and grown-ups alike.

And did I mention I adore the illustrations??

This books shows the joy you can get from being kind and selfless.Rabbit has a difficult time coming up with his own wish, and goes to others for help. Throughout the journey he learns more about himself. It also helps that the illustrations are beautiful!

Wish by Chris Saunders is a picture book that introduces us to Rabbit, who is gifted three wishes. Unsure how to use them, he visits his friends to see if their wishes might also be ones that resonate with him. He grants each of their wishes before realizing there aren't any left for himself. However, his friends have their own gifts they give in return.

The story is told through rhyming couplets, which are uneven in their effectiveness. The illustrations are the most captivating part of the story, with expansive scenes and soothing colors that complement the words of friendship and generosity.

(I received a digital ARC from Quarto Publishing Group via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)

The Story:
When Rabbit receives three wishes he sets off with a hop and a swish to ask his friends what they’d do with a wish. Mouse, Fox and Bear all know what they’d do with a wish but none of their ideas feel quite right for Rabbit. But then Rabbit does something truly selfless. He grants the wishes of his friends. Will he discover that generosity can be its own wish?

Favourite Spread:
Chris has created a magical atmosphere in this book through his wonderful illustrations which will give children a real sense of wonder. Some spreads are busy while others have few words. But either way, the story moves along at a lovely lyrical pace, with lines repeating through the story so children will know what’s coming next.

Chris has also made clever use of the text to get around the friend’s names not being in rhyme. It works well and doesn’t take you out of the book’s rhythm despite no attempt of making the line rhyme.

The Verdict:
This is a beautifully illustrated, lyrical rhyming story about the power of kindness. It has an almost lullaby quality to it and is a great book to encourage children to share and learn generosity.


I am very grateful to the publisher for providing me with an advanced digital copy via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

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 matter because you are full into the story and the actions taking place.
