Margo’s
favorite book this week has turned out to be entertaining for the whole
family. The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley
Spires is a book that inspires. In this adorably illustrated story, a young girl
is determined to create the most magnificent thing ever. She knows exactly what
it will look like. Unfortunately, she has a few problems with some of her
creations, but each time she knows just what to do. Eventually, she gets mad that things still
aren’t being made the “right way”. What's a girl to do? Taking a walk with her
dog might help her see things in the right light. Will all her practice be for nothing? Is it possible that she just needs to keep on
working? I’m not telling!
Margo can’t
get enough of the pictures in this book, and the dog reminds her of our little
pug, Auntie Em. She points and laughs as
we read. You should hear Margo telling
the girl in the story, “It’s okay”. Of course,
once we finish reading, it's time to make our own inventions, which is a blast, though we haven’t created the perfect thing yet. Still, it's fun for
the whole family to build something together.
This is a fabulous story that teaches a lesson we can all learn from, and I'd recommend it to book lovers of all ages.
Happy reading!
