Description
A sculptor named Pyg carves a statue of a goddess so beautiful, so perfect, that he falls head over heels in love with her. He buys her gifts, tells her stories, and wishes with all his heart she were a real, live woman. The trouble with wishes is . . . sometimes they come true!
Diane Stanley’s lively prose and vivid illustrations bring this funny and warm tale of misguided love to life as Pyg learns what a true companion is really made of.
In this humorous retelling of the Pygmalion story, young Pyg carves a gorgeous goddess from stone and falls in love with his creation. But when the stone goddess comes to life, Pyg discovers that the trouble with wishes is that sometimes they come true. Full color.
