The Wishing Ball

Nellie is a stray cat who wishes she had a house to live in,
warm meals, and a best friend. When a crafty crow overhears
her wishing, he decides to play a trick on her for his own
amusement - which is how Nellie ends up putting all her faith
in a rubber ball she believes to be a magic star that grants
wishes. But even though it's not a magic star, the rubber ball
turns out to be just what Nellie needs. When the ball bounces
out of her grasp, Nellie chases it into a faraway town, and one
by one, all of her wishes come true.

This is the story of a delightfully surprising chain of events,
with lively illustrations, a colorful cast of creatures, and hidden
details on every page.
