Reviews
Spires' understanding of the fragility and power of the artistic impulse mixes with expert pacing and subtle characterization for maximum delight.-- Kirkus Reviews - Starred Review, Young readers will love the surprise ending. Readers learn that not everything comes out ?just the right way? instantly.-- International Reading Association, Without being heavy-handed, the author has shown how perseverance, determination, vision, and dealing with your emotions can pay off. Illustrations add charm to the story ... This is a good read-aloud.-- Library Media Connection, ... Spires's buddy tale of overcoming obstacles and learning to manage expectations will likely find an appreciative audience, especially in a classroom setting.-- Quill & Quire, A little girl has big plans to make the most magnificent thing, with the help of her canine sidekick.-- Canadian Family, This is a solid choice with a great message that encourages kids not to quit in the face of disappointment but rather to change their perspective and start over.-- School Library Journal, Young readers will love the surprise ending. Readers learn that not everything comes out "just the right way" instantly.-- International Reading Association, The Most Magnificent Thing captures the ups and downs of the creative process perfectly ... with honesty and even a little elegance.-- Globe and Mail, An entertaining book for the very young, this is also a useful reminder that most problems can be worked out if we give it time. Spires's digital artwork does a masterful job of injecting humour.-- The Montreal Gazette, This indefatigable little girl won't let frustration get in the way of creating her magnificent contraption. Determination is key!-- Today's Parent, It's a useful description of the creative process, an affirmation of making rather than buying, and a model for girl engineers.-- Publishers Weekly, The Most Magnificent Thing is a wonderful fable about effort and reward, in a tone perfectly understandable to younger children. A definite addition to public and primary school collections.-- CM Magazine, In the end, it's precisely the kind of book we need for kids these days. Perfection is a myth. Banged up, beat up, good enough can sometimes be the best possible solution to a problem. A lesson for the 21st century children everywhere.-- Elizabeth Bird, SLJ.com

  • Good message

    The story is interesting enough for kids but the reason parents buy it is for the message. Reviews mention it is good for promoting STEM to young girls. Another obvious message was about how to handle frustration and anger. That message is almost too on-the-nose for a young preschool aged girl trying to learn how to handle her temper, but little kids don't seem to find it preachy. They just get the story. It's nice, with some funny moments, and young kids can relate. It seems like it's going to be a regular in the bedtime reading rotation.

  • Love it!

    What a wonderful book! We bought it as a part of our granddaughter’s birthday “inventors box” she requested from us. It’s perfect! It would be great for any child who gets discouraged when something doesn’t turn out the way they expected.

  • Good moral to story.

    Very cute book for a young reader. Teaches not to become discouraged if something doesn't work out the first time.
