The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley SpiresMy rating: ★★★★★
The Most Magnificent Thing, written and illustrated by Ashley Spires, is a charming tale of a girl and her dog-assistant who tries to make something; but she was never contented on the outcome of all the things they have built. Afterward, she became frustrated and was enraged. This story shows that kids nowadays are prone to be more serious, goal-oriented, or competitive; it's not bad but usually, they are living in stress.
Because they didn't achieve what they want or the expectations on them were not met, sometimes build- up stress and anxiety leads to other bigger complications, such as health problems like depression. The story teaches several lessons — such as being persevering and forbearing, but must not forget to relax and enjoy once in a while — which a lot of adults also tend to forget every so often.
Furthermore, the adorable artwork, especially of the dog and his/her antics, will distinctly enchant the young readers of this children's book. Lastly, educators and parents must not miss a chance to get a copy of this marvelous children's book.
