Summary

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? Anthony Browne is back with a brilliantly funny story with a moral message at its heart.

Lambert, Hilda and Ros are bored on the sofa, watching tv and a little bit grumbly. . . However after a surreal turn of events, the three friends are visited by a mysterious blue fairy who gives them more than they bargained for. Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true...

The Three Wishes is a hilarious twist on a tale that focuses on the importance of being content and present in the moment.
