ANOTHER 5-STAR REVIEW UP ON AMAZON

FOR

MAGICAL MEA GOES TO SCHOOL

A Magical Story

By Melissa Abramovitz on May 30, 2015

Magical Mea Goes To School by Penelope Cole, illustrated by Kevin Scott Collier, is the third book in Cole’s Magical series. Mea, the rambunctious little trickster who is unsure of how to best use her magical powers, is now in second grade. She knows she doesn’t want to use her magic to play tricks on people, but her brother Matthew, his friend Lily, and their Grandma Nonie are worried that Mea needs ongoing coaching to help her make good decisions. Mea avoids their magic lessons by overscheduling her calendar, but the trio finally figure out a fun way of getting their point across. Little do they know that Mea is one step ahead of them and is perfectly capable of doing the right thing on her own.
Like the other Magical stories, Magical Mea Goes To School weaves important messages into a fun plot that children will enjoy and relate to. The story explores issues such as "Each of us has unique talents and attributes" and "We can all learn to use our talents responsibly." Kids certainly do not read books to be taught a lesson, but stories like this that convey positive messages along with providing entertainment are true winners!

Enjoyable and amusing

By Karen Wiesner on May 29, 2015

“In Magical Mea Goes to School, we visit some old friends. Mea’s brother Matt, friend Lily and Grandma Nonie want to make sure Mea doesn’t get in trouble with her magic again, but they soon learn that pressuring someone—even to do good—can backfire. Penelope Anne Cole teaches a valuable lesson about trust and good intentions in an enjoyable, amusing way. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing Mea grow up with admirable role models in her family and friends. As usual in this series, the illustrations really bring the text alive.” ~Karen Wiesner, author of Keri is Cute Cute Cute and I Can Touch the Sky http://www.karenwiesner.com
