The Most Magnificent Thing

Ashley’s best friend in the whole world is her pug dog. She is very creative and likes to build things. After she draws up her plans, she heads out to find all of the things she’ll need. But as she starts building it, she gets frustrated as it isn’t looking anything like she had imagined. So she keeps trying, over and over, but finally gets mad, and not just a little mad, but really mad. She gets so mad she hurts herself and that makes her have a tantrum. Once she gives up, you can tell by the pictures that she is sad that the magnificent thing she was trying to build just didn’t work out. Her best friend, the dog, brings Ashley the leash asking for a walk. And it works! As she comes back to all of the items she had left, she sees people are finding them useful for a lot of things and she finally gets her magnificent plans built!

I think most kids can relate to Ashley and how frustrating stuff can get and how you just want to give up, but sometimes we just need a good friend in our life! Loved this book!
