You cant always get what you want. unless you have a magic wand!
I WANT! shouts Baby.
Do you want this rice cake? asks Witch.
I WANT COOOOKIIIEEE! Baby screams.
With a sigh, Witch waves her wand and conjures a cookie. But Babys wants dont stop there. He demands a balloon, a ball and then the wand itself.
Once armed with magic, Babys demands spiral out of control: Witch ends up teetering on a tiger, a dinosaur, a pirate ship, a fire engine, an elephant and a castle. But still, Baby isnt satisfied. He wants the clouds. The moon. The stars. And unless Witch reclaims that wand, she may never get what she wants again.
I Want is a gloriously hilarious caper wrapped around a sharp truth: the endless appetites of toddlers and the impossible balance between giving in and holding firm. Written in punchy comic-book dialogue and brought to life with Charlotte Agers warm, sketchy lines, this book will delight children and strike a knowing chord with every parent.
