What is Wishbone about?

Henry dreams of owning every kind of dog: a lively rough-and-tumble pup, a cheerful dog that loves splashing in puddles, and a smart sausage dog that seems to think highly of itself. When Mum shows Henry how to plant seeds and make wishes, he wonders whether his dreams might grow too. As Henry waits and imagines, he learns that wishes can bring surprises—and that love, patience and caring may be just as important as having the perfect dog.
