I thought it was a cute story and it would be a good lesson for younger kids to be careful what they wish for.

This is a story about a boy who gets 7 special wishes..and uses almost all of them and they backfire on him. But he goes to the castle anyway to try to cheer up the princess, once the princess sees what a mess he is she laughs and the king is happy that the princess isnt sad anymore. So now Juan gets to live in the castle with the princess. And he keeps his last wish tucked away.

This is a story of a boy that is granted 7 special wishes that come from a magical unicorn. He uses almost all of them and the ones that he uses are wasted wishes. The last wish that he uses gets him into the castle and he lives happily ever after and he might just have one left that he keeps forever.
This is a reall cute story and it is good to have for a classroom library.
