From School Library Journal PreS—The renowned duo who created Duck! Rabbit!
(2009) and Wumbers (2012, both Chronicle), has teamed up again to present a
compendium of pleasant images and cleverly stated, feel-good wishes. "I wish
you more ups than downs. I wish you more give than take." Each spread features
children of various ethnicities and a simple comparative blessing, each
beginning with "I wish." Although not as engaging as some of their more
notable collaborations, it is still a lovely compilation of positive moments
that can be shared by parent and child, and it even offers some interesting
wordplay in the simple text ("I wish you more can than knot" as a little girl
tries to tie her shoes with her tongue sticking out in concentration). VERDICT
While not an essential purchase, it is one title that most libraries will wish
to have on their shelves.—Jessica Marie, Salem Public Library, OR Read more
