Children's Day & Summer Book Review - The Most Magnificent Team

We all want the children we love to learn how to get along with and work with others - this is a skill they absolutely need in their life. The Most Magnificent Team by Ashley Spires from Kids Can Press is a wonderful story which brilliantly illustrates this truth.

Favorite Features -

• I love the colorful, detailed illustrations which so wonderfully captures the emotions of the story.
• I appreciate a story book for children which will help them learn how to work well with others.
• This book will provide wonderful opportunities for you to talk with the children you love about not giving up and being patient with others. Very well done!

Kids Can Press says, "A girl and her dog are ready to make something. She gathers her supplies, and they head to her favorite workspace – only to discover her neighbor, along with her cat, got there first! Hmm, well, maybe they could make something together? Magnificent idea! So the girl starts cutting, hammering, and gluing, while her neighbor considers, measures, and calculates. Her neighbor believes in always measuring twice and cutting once, but the girl thinks this takes way too long. Tensions start to rise as it becomes clear they have very different styles of working. And even different ideas about exactly what they’re making! Can they ever work things out as a team?

Blending humor with empathy to strike just the right note, Ashley Spires perfectly captures the emotional ups and downs of working with others in this celebration of collaboration in the creative process. As the girl perseveres through technical and emotional challenges, she learns mistakes don’t mean failure and setbacks are just part of the route to success. This amusing and inspiring picture book is part of the Most Magnificent franchise which includes books, a TV series, and an award-winning short film. The series is a favorite among educators because of its growth mindset focus, and this title highlights another important theme in the classroom: teamwork."

The Most Magnificent Team is a book you will be very happy to read to and with the children you love - and you will treasure the conversations it affords as well. It makes a wonderful gift for Children's Day, a birthday, or for Summer Reading Fun and you will find it at this link.
