Washington, Ned When You Wish Upon a Star, illustrated by Eric Puybaret; performed by Judy Collins. Imagine Book (Charlesbridge). ISBN: 978-1936140350 PICTURE BOOK with CD. $18. Content: G. Puybaret’s illustrations are reason enough to buy this illustrated version of this classic Disney song. Lush? Yes and highly imaginative and satisfying. I don’t know much about Judy Collins (besides Send in the Clowns), but her voice has not faded over the years – she renders a pretty version of the song, though I would have been just as happy with Jiminy Cricket’s version too. She does change one word as she sings (“brings” becomes “gives”) which might irritate younger readers who are following along. Gift, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacher
