If Wishes Were Horses: A Kona Story

Of all the Wind Dancers books, this is her fave. She's read it a few times already, and she doesn't like to read all that much, so that's a big plus. We love all of them though.

My 6 year old daughter loves this book. She read it in one night, she just wouldn't put it down. It is a good transition from picture to chapter books because it is engageing and it has plenty of colorful pictures to look at. My daugher typically only reads books about dinosaurs, so it is great when I can find something different for her to read that she likes and doesn't require bribery to get her to read all of it. I only gave it 4 stars because I don't think that it is as well written as it could be. It doesn't always make sense to me. My daughter "gets" it though and she tells me that I am thinking way too much into it. I guess its not a book for "old" people.

Great for beginning readers, my 7 year old daughter read the whole book in two days. May be a little easy for a 7 year old (2nd Grader), but a great story and the best part..she WANTED to read!!!!! No arguing about her required daily reading time!!!!
