Hi Everyone!
One of our sister branches has a childrens' book query: a group of children
go to a carnival where they are given cards with red dots on them. The dots
allow them to make a wish. One girl wishes that a blabbermouth would be
quiet when *presto* the blabbermouth turns into a frog. Does anyone have
any idea what the title of this book might be? Thanks - always!
Patricia.

It sounds like The Wish Giver by Bill Brittain.
