Customer Reviews

Fabulous book that should be readily available

I remember getting a set of three Ruth Chew books, which included this one, The Wednesday Witch, and some other one back when I was in elementary school. It must really be a good book if you remember something you read back when you were 9-yrs.-old! I am so glad I found these books offered here by independent sellers. They are a blast from the past and I can't wait for my kids to be old enough to read them themselves.

Passing it on

I rember reading this book when I was little. I read over and over again. Now that I have a little cousin I am going to read it to her, and I hope that the wonderful story will stay with her like it did with me.

Fabulous adventure into a land of fantasy!

I am an elementary teacher and have read this book aloud to my students for the last ten years. They all have loved it. I still receive letters from former students who remember The Wishing Tree. This book has sparked a sense of adventure in students who had never picked up a chapter book previously. I recommend it to young and old alike!

I loved the book!

Ruth Chew writes magical and adventerous books. The wishing tree is my favorite so far. It is both magical and adventurous. Every part is a good part. Why don't you read it. It is about a tree that leads these kids and a cat to a magical place. They meet a friend there. Read it and find out who the friend is.
