The Fish Who Could Wish', written by John Bush and Korky Paul, is a fun little picture book aimed at small children but with a bit of a moral at the end too! The entire story is written in rhyme and takes place at the bottom of the sea where we meet a very unusual but lucky fish! This fish is different because every time he makes a wish it actually comes true! This fish wishes for all sorts of unusual things - for example a car and a castle, a horse ...
...and all of a sudden the ocean bed is transformed as it snows for a week! Another time he wishes he could fly and then is transported to flying all around the earth - twice in one night!

Of course this wish comes true as well, but of course all the other ... Read review
