I Wish You More (2015)

      I Wish YouMore (2015) by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld has illustrations with very spare settings and brief text. This is not one of my favorite books because there's not enough content for to me understand the authors' meaning. The first page says, "I wish you more ups than downs." It's paired with children flying a kite and running downhill. The second page says, "I wish you more give than take." The illustration of children sharing makes this message more transparent. "I wish you more tippy toes than deep.", and  "I wish you more snowflakes than tongue." What do these lines even mean?

     Interactive Elementary has I Wish You More Read Aloud Activities. Big Hearts Little Learners has  I Wish You More: A Mother's Day and Father's Day Writing Activity for K-3.
