Bear’s Magic and Other Stories by Carla Stevens is a charming collection of three gentle stories about animals, wishes and the magic of imagination. The collection includes “Wish I May, Wish I Might,” in which Rabbit makes a wish upon the first evening star; “The Birthday Party Wish,” where Mouse makes a wish on her birthday candles; and “Bear’s Magic,” in which Bear discovers the fun and possibilities of making wishes of his own.

Illustrated by Robert J. Lee, the book combines simple, engaging stories with colourful illustrations and a recurring theme of wishing for something special. First published in 1976, this vintage children’s collection is a lovely choice for young readers who enjoy animal characters, gentle fantasy and stories about wishes and imagination.
