A long walk, suggested by dog, helps her settle down.Īs chance and clever storytelling would have it, to get back home, she has to walk back by a long chain of her project attempts. Finally, she gets really frustrated and, momentarily, gives up.
Unfortunately, nothing she builds is exactly what she has in mind. When one attempt isn't quite right, she moves to a new spot and begins again. Up and down the street, she works on her invention. From the outset, readers are told that Ashley loves to build and, at the beginning of the story, she is struck by an idea for what she believes would be "the most magnificent thing." She knows exactly what wants to build, but as she discovers, sometimes making an idea real isn't quite as easy as it seems and takes multiple attempts. Similar in concept to Rosie Revere, Engineer, The Most Magnificent Thing is the story of a young girl engineer and her best friend, dog.
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires (Kids Can Press) is a wonderful story for young engineers.
