Author: Edith Nesbit
Genre: Children's Books
Book Type: Paperback

Helpful Score: 1


Great writing style. The plot gets a little TV movie-like, and perhaps that is why this isn't a well known classic. In each chapter the children make a wish and end up having a big problem. This book will go over young children's heads because the author references so many different things that little children don't know of yet. I chose not to read this to my supersmarty 6 year old. I will wait a bit. A child of about 10-13 would enjoy this as a read aloud. Good book.
