I Want
You can’t always get what you want… unless you have a magic wand! A hilarious caper about the endless appetitles of toddlers and the impossible balance between giving in and holding firm.
“I WANT!” shouts Baby. “Do you want this rice cake?” asks Witch.
“I WANT COOOOKIIIEEE!” Baby screams. With a sigh, Witch waves her wand and conjures a cookie. But Baby’s wants don’t stop there – a balloon, a ball… and then the wand itself.
Once armed with magic, Baby’s demands spiral out of control: Witch ends up teetering on a tiger, a dinosaur, a pirate ship, a fire engine, an elephant and a castle. But still, Baby isn’t satisfied. He wants the clouds. The moon. The stars.
And unless Witch reclaims that wand, she may never get what she wants again.THE AUTHOR
