The Most Magnificent Thing

(4) K-3 A determined little girl sets out to create "the most MAGNIFICENT thing." Using small metal parts and tools, she struggles to make her creations match the elaborate plan in her head and becomes increasingly frustrated with each attempt. A walk offers fresh perspective. The digital illustrations are mildly entertaining, as is the meandering text.
