This story is part of the Reading Champion series, carefully designed in conjunction with book categories to encourage independent reading skills, developed by Dr. Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE).

In retelling a traditional fairy tale, an old man gains three wishes. Then, he randomly makes a silly wish for a sausage! Will he and his wife use the other two wishes wisely?

Reading Champion offers independent reading books for children to practice and strengthen their developing reading skills. Fantastic stories are accompanied by engaging illustrations and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully crafted to match a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure. This retelling of a traditional fairy tale is suitable for children aged 5-7 years or those reading in the Green 5 book band.
