The latest addition to The Most Magnificent series.

In this vocabulary book, the characters from The Most Magnificent Thing walk readers from A to Z, through all the words little makers need to know. It captures the ups ("I is for IDEA. A gift from the imagination that wants to be made.") and downs ("P is for PATIENCE. Most things don't work the first time ... or the third time .... or even the twelfth time.") of creating and includes explanations of key concepts ("B is for BRAINSTORM. When ideas of all shapes and sizes rain onto the page.")

Witty, clever and encouraging, it's sure to inspire endless magnificent making!

      Alphabetical advice and encouragement for creative kids. In the third installment of the Magnificent books from author-illustrator Spires comes an A to Z of creation keywords and phrases for little inventors and artists, along with warm pieces of advice on making a project work. Spanning from straightforward vocabulary like "B is for BRAINSTORM" and "E is for EXPERIMENT" to the alphabetically redundant "O is for OLD OBJECTS" and "X is for X MARKS THE SPOT," the featured letters consist of mostly identifiable tools and tidbits such as pencils, scissors, and horseshoe magnets that may confuse very new readers but get the job done. The same unnamed white girl and puggish dog from past titles pursue various projects in the background, providing doggedness and determination even in the face of "Mistakes. / They happen. A lot," while the narration advises readers to "Try try try...and try again," even if you need to walk away. "Creating is a journey. You may not have figured it out yet, / but you can try again tomorrow." While this may not be the most magnificent "gift from the imagination," it does offer valuable advice for eager young makers and their inevitable impediments. ABCs for any budding creator. (Picture book. 5-10)
