Review

Wish is a delightful story about the love a parent feels for a child. An adult wolf spends the day telling his/her pup how their relationship will grow fuller. The illustrations perfectly match the text which is written in rhyme, Dodd has created another winner. Each page is rendered in two or three soft shades that suggest calmness and peace. The Emma Dodd's Love You Books are charming, sensitive, and attractive; this is the best one yet. Preschool age children will find comfort in the story as they snuggle close to their parents. Some early readers may be challenged by the vocabulary but the font is a nice size. Add this where the series is collected, put in K classrooms and gift to your favorite preschooler.

Overall Book Score: very good
