The Most Magnificent Thing

In Ashley Spires’ charming picture book, The Most Magnificent Thing, a girl has a wonderful idea to make the most magnificent thing. But with each attempt, the girl fails, until eventually, she gets really, really mad – SO mad, in fact, that she quits. But after her pet dog convinces her to take a walk, the girl returns to her project with renewed vigour. Will she succeed? This cleverly-written and delightfully amusing book teaches the rewards of perseverance and creativity, and that it’s okay to make mistakes. A wonderfully refreshing read, especially for aspiring inventors.
