Bunting went to school in Ireland and grew up with storytelling. In Ireland, “There used to be Shanachies… the shanachie was a storyteller who went from house to house telling his tales of ghosts and fairies, of old Irish heroes and battles still to be won. Maybe I’m a bit of a Shanchie myself, telling stories to anyone who will listen.” This storytelling began as an inspiration for Bunting and continues with her work.

Every little girl has a wish for something. Some girls may even have more than one wish like Annabelle. She has five wishes and polite as she can she asks the Wish Fairy for 5 wishes.
The book is short as it a Beginning Reader and there are only a few words on each page. Which makes it easier for the student to learn to read the words. Although it is short it has a very endearing quality to the story. She wants five “simple” wishes. All together she sees the wishes as the best party ever.
This story will speak to boy or girl and simple words at a level 2. Which according to scholastic means it is for Ages 5-7.
