5.0 out of 5 stars
5 Stars for a delightful read!, June 17, 2014
This review is from: Magical Mea (Paperback)
Magical Mea, written by Penelope Anne Cole and
illustrated by Kevin Collier, is an enchanting sequel to Ms. Cole's
Magical Matthew. Mea is Matthew's younger sister who has her own brand
of magic. Unlike her brother who used his magic for good, Mea is a
trickster with her magic and has to learn it is better to help people
than play tricks on them. Mea is a prankster kids can easily relate to
as all kids want recognition of some sort. Mea likes that she "gets
praise for being a good finder" after she deliberately hides the items
she then "finds." As with most children, life lessons are a better
teaching tool than anything told or intentionally preached to them. Ms.
Cole does this perfectly in her books. Magical Mea demonstrates it
always feels better to earn attention and praise for doing good than
negative attention for doing wrong. It is a fun story kids can learn
from and parents can appreciate the lesson learned. Mr. Collier's
illustrations are incredible and really bring Mea and Matthew to life. I
highly recommend this darling book. Your kids will learn from and love
Mea and her adventures.
