4.0

Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

 I liked this story, but trying to say why is hard.  It was sweet, and about a kid playing with his toboggan in the snow.  He helped out the animals while looking for a wish tree.  But we never found out what his wish was, or why he needed the tree in the first place.  I like the story, but don’t think it has the staying power to be on shelves 50 years from now.
