You can’t always get what you want... unless you have a magic wand!
“I WANT!” shouts Baby.
“Do you want this rice cake?” asks Witch. “I WANT COOOOKIIIEEE!” Baby screams.
With a sigh, Witch waves her wand and conjures a cookie. But Baby’s wants don’t stop there. He demands a balloon, a ball... and then the wand itself.
Once armed with magic, Baby’s demands spiral out of control; Witch ends up teetering on a tiger, a dinosaur, a pirate ship, a fire engine, an elephant and a castle. But still, Baby isn’t satisfied. He wants the clouds. The moon. The stars. And unless Witch reclaims that wand, she may never get what she wants again.
I Want is a hilarious caper about the endless appetites of toddlers and the impossible balance between giving in and holding firm. Written in punchy, comic-book dialogue and brought to life with Charlotte Ager’s warm, sketchy lines, this book will delight children and strike a knowing chord with every parent.
