Beautifully illustrated and very relatable
My daughter absolutely loved this book - cute, funny, beautifully illustrated and it teaches a good lesson as well. Children often get frustrated when their vision outstrips their capabilities but this story shows the importance of not giving up. Definitely recommended.

A great package and a greater content
A great package and a greater content. Read it to 60 reception children and not a squeak out of any of them. Totally mesmerising with subliminal message of human nature, calming techniques, imperfection is acceptable and most importantly, perseverence.

Perfect for your little perfectionist who throws a tantrum when things go wrong.
I have four-year-old who has ZERO patience when things don't go right the first time. This book has been wonderful for her. It has helped her to understand that, instead of throwing a tantrum when something she is working on doesn't go immediately the way she things it should, she should walk away and cool down. It also teaches perseverance. I find that my child can relate to what happens to the girl in the story. Also, the illustrations are fabulous.

A great little book to help understand that it happens to others too and it might just be worth picking up and starting again... That's just me, haven't even read it to my boys yet!!

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.)
