Wishy Washy's Wish (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780738853260)

Wishy Washy's Wish is for the children of the world. It is a wish for awareness of the wide range of human skills and possibilities, as well as, the freedom and responsibility included with that awareness. The story, set in the deep forests of the Pacific Northwest, is both environmentally educational and entertaining. Sue and Sam are 6 inch tall hand carved wood dolls who are magically brought to life by Wishy Washy Witch, the master craftswoman of the story. The mystery and suspense of Sue and Sam's survival in the woods is enhanced by detailed descriptions of basic cabin living skills and simple stick construction techniques which children can imitate. Through illustrations, photos, words and pictographs, the story presents skill-building lessons in the basic use of sticks and knot-tying: the children learn to construct ladders and lean-to's, tripods and tepees. In the process, they become familiar with Northwest plants and animals during Sue and Sam's adventures. Wishy Washy's Wish is for the children of the world.
