A read-to illustrated storybook for children 4-7 and read-alone for children 7-10 For her exceptional creative abilities, Emma is rewarded with a magic pencil by an art fairy. She can make anything she draws with the pencil turn into a colorful painting, and she can also wish her painting to become real. But when a pesky mouse threatens to eat the magic pencil and becomes demanding, things get out of hand. Be Careful What You Wish For delivers moral lessons through magic and fun. The story teaches children the importance of art, imagination, and creativity, and if they use their wits, they can solve any problem. From the editors: "This story was so magical and fun, and I know readers will love imagining all the things they wish they could draw and bring to life. The pacing of the story was excellent, and the building frustration with Toby the mouse will definitely keep readers engaged. They will also like the build-up as Emma is drawing, each page turn will keep them wondering what will happen next." ~Millie Godwin "This was such a fun little story, full of both magic and wisdom! The moral to be careful what you wish for worked ever so perfectly and is a timeless one. Also, it was done in a unique way-not just because of the enchanted pencil, but because the main character is usually the one who needs to learn the lesson. Here, Emma is the one teaching the lesson to Toby, the demanding mouse." ~Emma Lawson
