You can tell that the young boy has a working and friendly relationship with 'Boggan' because it says that surely there must be such a thing. That's when he asks his toboggan what it thinks. The two older siblings just brush him off, saying there is no such thing. He wants to find a wishing tree so he asks his sister and brother. It starts with a little boy named Charles. The story isn't precisely clear which is part of the fun. There's red squirrels, bear and cub, beaver, birds, foxes, owls, and mice and they are so darn cute. The cover is lovely and the inside art features adorable animals. I thought this was a very attractive brook. You should note though that it is written at the middle- 2nd Grade reading level and there is also a AR test available for it. THE WISH TREE is the type of book I would share with young children at reading time. The nephew gave this 3 stars while the niece gave it 4 stars - practically a rave review for her. It must have to do with my archetypes being different from theirs. The niece appreciated the artwork and the nephew liked seeing the animals, but I don’t think it touched the same place inside them as it did in me. The children can pick up the wonder and excitement in my voice as I’m reading the story and sometimes I think that helps to make a story better for them. This book touches that magic place inside me and my heart blooms.

I love the animals that are meet in the woods.

I love that the child calls the sled Boggin and it has a bit of a name and that we can see the boys journey from the trail left in the snow.

2 the protagonist declares they want something odd or strange that isn’t tangible, in this case a Wish Tree,ģ the other people say you can’t do that or it isn’t thereĤ most IMPORTANTLY, the character doesn’t believe them and sets out anyway.ĥ there is a journey, usually filled with Heart where they help others along the way,
