Three Wishing Tales: A Matter-of-Fact Magic Collection by Ruth Chew

For decades, Ruth Chew’s chapter books about matter-of-fact magic have enchanted early readers. Now a new generation of fantasy fans can discover the magic in these Stepping Stones books.

What should be in a book about magic? Pirates? Merlin? Becoming tiny? Time travel? A giant? How about all of the above? 

In The Wishing Tree, The Magic Coin, and The Magic Cave, magical adventures lie around every corner. From a coin that becomes a boat and a backyard pool that becomes an ocean, to a cave that leads to another land, it’s anchors away to fun!

Ruth Chew has a remarkable way of turning the average day into a fantastic voyage. Here are three of her best tales that will capture the imagination of any reader who is willing to take a little risk.
