I received a free ARC from Kids Can Press through NetGalley
5 stars!
What happens when a regular girl that likes to build things gets a magnificent idea? With some trial and error, lots and lots of error, some frustration, and a little help from a canine friend to chase away the squirrels, this regular little girl can make something magnificent of course!
Simple illustrations and sweet text tell a wonderful story about determination and seeing the good parts of not so great things in order to make something better. It really is a powerful little story. Kids will learn to keep trying, keep using their wonderful imaginations until something great is formed. There is also a bit of humor in this one that the adult readers will pick up. For example, the girl is working on her creation somewhere out of the way, like the middle of a busy city sidewalk. I can't wait to read this one in story time. It is short enough, cute enough,and just funny enough to appeal to everyone.
I also have to point out that I really love the dedication, "For all the little perfectionists of the world."
