The Most Magnificent Thing

I loved reading The Most Magnificent Thing with my 5-year-old daughter, and it’s a book I’m very likely going to pick for my kindergartener’s guest reading session that I signed up for. The story beautifully teaches children not to give up, to keep creating, and to learn from mistakes. One of my favorite messages is that even if something you create isn’t perfect, parts of it can still spark ideas for your next creation. That’s such a powerful and reassuring lesson for young kids who can easily feel frustrated when things don’t turn out the way they imagine. What makes this book especially wonderful is that it’s not just for kids—it’s a great reminder for grown-ups too. It encourages patience, creativity, resilience, and self-kindness, making it a lovely shared learning experience for parents and children. Overall, this is a warm, relatable, and inspiring book that opens the door to great conversations about perseverance and creativity. A truly magnificent read—for kids and adults alike

The Most Magnificent Thing is picture book worth reading time and again with our children even for us adults when we lose perspective. It sends the perfect message to the reader about not giving up and looking at the problem from a different point of view. Just set back and recharge before tackling a difficult problem that is stuck. I was pulled into the book with the cover and blurb and immediately requested it. The book is not just a story about making something but learning as well. The girl tries to invent something, tinkering and planning as she goes about her task. Learning and play along with reading make a delightful trio in this book, The Most Magnificent Thing. It is a simple story that can be a good guiding and motivating book for small children. I sat and read it to my son and we read it twice and talked about the pictures and all the little changes and activities the little girl was doing. Her cute, silly dog made the story funny and endearing. The furry assistant sure made a lot of things easy. Only now, my son is asking for his own assistant so he too can build ‘magnificent things’. The illustrations are spot on making it a delight for the younger kids to read as well. The pictures of the ‘magnificent thing’ they are making and its different version was a fun clue to figure out. We played the game together to try to find the exact thing they were making. The Most Magnificent Thing has excellent narration and language and teaches a child and adults about creativity, challenges, and not giving up. Often we are told to ‘take a break’ or ‘see things from a different perspective this book shares all this wisdom in a simple and rather cute manner. A fresh, funny book full of wisdom. A perfect pick for an ideal gift book as well. (I requested this book from KidsCanPress via NetGalley review is my own.)

Such a great book! Love the creative storyline and hilarious but relatable reactions of the little girl. Very clever

My 3 and 7 year olds (1 boy and 1 girl) love this book. They pull it off the bookshelf often for me to read. We often apply the story message to our real life problems.

Book arrived quickly and in good quality. I bought this as a recommendation for classroom mystery reader. A great story about creativity and perseverance!

This is a great book to teach determination and not giving up. My littles (3 year olds) got a little bored with it but my older preschoolers liked it.

My 4 year old grand daughter loves this book

This book was fun and entertaining for me and my daughter to read together. The artwork was super cute and the story was just adorable! Incredibly enjoyable and we will read it again and again!

From my daughter "I love how she finally makes her thing. I like the creative things she made. " I think the pictures are cute."
