?Be careful what you wish for!? When a poor woodcutter named John helps an elf in distress, the elf rewards him with three magic wishes. As John and Martha sit dreaming about what they could ask for, a chance remark by John prompts the appearance of some sizzling, succulent sausages! But the argument this causes between the couple leads to a very silly situation, which only their last remaining wish can put right. Jessica Souhami?s gorgeous cut-paper artwork and short, rhythmic text make this a perfect book for younger children or for sharing in a read-aloud.
