Abby Cadabby Makes a Wish (Sesame Street)

Illustrated by Joe Mathieu

Abby Cadabby is Sesame Street's newest beloved Muppet. As a fairy-in-training, she's always practicing the magical spells she learns at Mrs. Sparkle's Flying Fairy School. But more often than not, her spells go a little bit awry. Sometimes Abby is frustrated by her mixed-up spells, but Elmo and all of her other Sesame Street friends are always delighted by what results instead. This sweet story about perseverence, self-confidence, and friendship taps into the fairy craze and will appeal to any toddler who loves Sesame Street, fairies, and make-believe, and who believes in the power of magical spells.

Naomi Kleinberg is a children’s book editor and the author of many children’s books. She lives in New York City in an apartment so filled with books that there’s barely enough room for her family. By odd coincidence, her favorite foods—apples, avocados, and arugula—all begin with the letter A. View titles by Naomi Kleinberg
Joe Mathieu has illustrated countless books for children, including Big Frank’s Fire Truck, Sesame Street titles, books in the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library series, and many more. View titles by Joe Mathieu
