This book was recommended to me so I ended up purchasing it and reading it to my son one night... and I have to say that it was an adorable, education and vividly engaging children's book. Patricia Leynse managed to create an entertaining tale of little Charlie and Magpie Maggie's adventures, while subtly infusing educational lessons into the book that help kids to learn, grow and get engaged in an easy way. The art illustrations are colorful, wonderfully captivating and have a classic quality to them that reminds me of my own childhood books from the Golden Books Collection. I was tempted to give the children's book a 5 star review as it truly was fun little read for me and my son,  however occasionally the wording was a little stilted... not horribly or in any way that detracted from the overall story, but just enough that made it just shy of being worthy of a 5 star review. But altogether, this was an enjoyable read that I would recommend to other parents who want a fun, educational and engaging book to read to their children.
