As all children yearn for a magical object with which to grant their wishes, the story of Sylvester, a sweet-eyed donkey with a fascination with pebbles, evokes the tales of Arabian nights and the implicit childhood fascination following those classic tales. The illustrations charmingly portray a story of hope and fear through both good fortune and bad. Scenic watercoloured landscapes capture the movement of seasons, with the hopefulness and possibility of spring foreshadowing the renewal of familial love. Guaranteed to warm the heart by reinforcing the pleasure of appreciating what you have. A wonderful choice for school age children. ****
