Magical Matthew
Magical Matthew is an
entertaining story that will draw children into the yarn. As they read they will find themselves
wanting to acquire Matthew’s abilities.
This child has a special uniqueness that brings help to others. Matthew enjoys making others happy with his
unique powers, but finds he does have some limitations when trying to help his
friend. Matthew finds disappointment in
what he thinks he has lost, but then realizes new gifts he does possess. His
special new gifts reflect in the older boy he has become.
The story has a bit
of a twist and surprise that involves Matthew’s baby sister. This is a wonderful book for children of many
ages, as it is a fun read for younger children, as well as children a bit
older. The story reflects how a child
can feel secure in telling an adult a secret, and also how things can change as
they grow older. It shows a child, that
growing up does not mean you lose what you had as a younger child, but that you
have found new treasures to add to your already beautiful and unique you.
Magical Matthew
will not disappoint, and would be a wonderful addition to any child’s library.
The author Penelope Anne Cole, has included in her creative story, valuable
life lessons to help children trust in those who love them, and to move
smoothly to their next level in life.
The illustrations by Kevin Collier are colorful, expressive to the story
in detail, and will certainly engage children to an enjoyable read. Magical Matthew shows love in all his
actions. This book is a keeper with five
