Wishbones by Barbara Ker Wilson

Wishbones, magic fishbones that make every dream come true...From south of the clouds comes this Asian fable, weaving riches and sorrows into the enchanted tale of a golden-eyed fish, a lost slipper, and a king's search for his bride.
Another version of the Chinese Cinderella story.. Wilson's retelling is clever, as is her chosen title, and reads aloud well... Children will delight in this clever retelling and be dazzled by the truly splendid illustrations. -- School Library Journal A sophisticated, powerful re-imagining of an often overprettified tale. -- Kirkus Reviews
