The main character is of course Terence, and he is well supported by others like Gopher the goose, Baby the bull, Patrick the pig, Ernie the eagle, Gerald the goat, Uncle Murdock, the Fearfeathers, Aunt Suzie the swan, and many others.My main idea is to tell interesting, and some funny stories in every chapter. Each story concludes with a FUN SHEET, and hopefully this will get the children’s attention! The FUN SHEET includes Bible scriptures, life lessons, vocabulary, and interesting facts. There will be questions and quizzes, and all the answers will be provided at the back of the book. The book is quirky and kids between 6 and 11 years will surely enjoy Terence's adventures.

In I Wish I May, I Wish I Might, three children, ages eight, ten, and twelve, find a bottle on the beach from which a frog appears, an orange and purple frog with just a tinge of green and yellow across its back. This frog speaks perfectly good English but not a word of Latin, French, Spanish, or Lower Mongolian. He eventually agrees to fetch out his bottle mate who, according to tradition, gives three wishes to children who find the bottle. The genie appears or was all this just the children s imagination? The genie refuses to grant them the traditional three wishes but insists they can have all the WISHES they want, with a few very practical conditions. This leads the children to a series of adventures such as helping their widowed neighbor put on a happy face, getting ill from eating too much ice cream, and confronting counterfeiters/kidnappers. Ann is kidnapped but rescued with the help of the genie. Then Dan is kidnapped, escapes but is lost in a dismal swamp where he faces alligators, rattlesnakes, and bears. With help from the genie, Ann and Dan find a way to rescue him.

They convince the genie to allow them to share having all the WISHES they want with all the children of the world. This book is their attempt to explain to all children how they can have their realistic WISHES come true. After all their adventures, Ann is convinced the genie is real, Van isn t sure.
