The Wish Carvers

I loved this book! It tells the story of a brother and sister who sell carved figures in the market. They are not rich and need some new things to better their life. One day they find a magical knife that turns whatever they carve into reality. They carve several very big things, like a pot of gold and huge houses, they realize these things are not just fun, they come with a lot of responsibility and hard work attached to them. So they end up wishing to go back to their small house and their simple way of living. The story is wonderfully written! I was very entertained and interested while reading it. The message is powerful and beautiful and the illustrations are very well painted in watercolors, colorful and bright with great amusing details. I strongly recommend this book for any child!
