The Wishing Club: A Story about Fractions

by Donna Jo Napoli

Petey wishes on the first star he sees, but instead of the dollar he hopes for, he gets only a quarter. The next night his little brother Joey wishes for a cookie--and gets just half of one. The twins, Sally and Samantha, don't fare much better.

Try as they might, the children each wind up with a fraction of what they wished for. Can they figure out how to combine their wishes to wind up with one whole, happy pet?

cute

Four young children wish on a star one night. They seem to think that something must be wrong with the star because each kid only gets a fraction of the thing they wish for. They decide that if they all wished for the same thing that all together they might get a whole item! They wish for pig. Will their idea work?
