Do you believe in magic, AbRaCaDabRa, and all that jazz?  Little children with wands roam their homes performing magic, believing in fairy dust. My granddaughter, when she was three, lost her wand at Home Depot. The entire store occupants and employees went looking for that wand, that is magic in itself.Anat Umansky, a well known children's writer from Israel, has given us a story in which we are asked to believe. Children with their parents, will love this story. Wizard Bill can cast wishes to anyone who asks, and there is a long line of animals who have many wants. Will they be happy with their wishes?  The illustrations by Anat Umansky are beautiful, vibrant and colorful. Finding the animals with their wishes will makes parents and children laugh. This will be a good subject for children and parents to discuss. Do you wish you were somebody or something else? This book is told in rhyme, and I just love the rhyming. It is so lyrical, and when you read to your children, the words slip off your tongue. Note: I was given this book to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 01-17-14
