It happened on a winter's day; (The air was cold, the sky was grey): Out walking in the woods alone, I came upon a wishing bone. What would you do, if your every wish came true? Do you know how a white rhinoceros takes his tea...where to find the elusive purple tiger...and who wanders in the whiffle bog on a bilgy, bulgy night? The Wishing Bone resonates with whimsical questions, inviting the reader to think and dream.

Stephen Mitchell is a renowned writer, translator and anthologist. He has written more than 30 books for adults and children, including The Nightingale (a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic story) and The Frog Prince. Of The Wishing Bone, he says, "These poems throw their thoughts to words / Like breadcrumbs to a flock of birds. / They hope you like them. If you do, / Then (naturally) they'll like you." Tom Pohrt has illustrated many children's books, including the bestseller Crow and Weasel by Barry Lopez. He is a self-taught artist who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is his first book for Walker.
