I received this from Library Thing to read and review. This story focuses on the age-old warning not to ask for something unless you are well prepared to accept what you get, regardless whether you like the end result or not.  In the story, Wilson Fenniwig learns this lesson the hard way after finding a penny that has strange and exciting powers. The story also provides a fantastic lesson in familial love and acceptance. I think this is a wonderful children's story, with a great lesson for the reader/listener. I had hoped that Wilson would wish for something for the good of his family, such as an end to his mother's headaches, but the fact that he doesn't only underscores the true meaning of the tale.
