I really loved this sequel! This first story is lovely and kids enjoy it. What I like about this story, besides the amazing illustrations and great writing, is that it touches on a subject that's really important to learning and exploring with children. Children, teens, even adults struggle with finding or "getting" ideas. In a educational environment, especially with writing, children can have a really hard time with ideas. This book shows that not only is it normal, but ideas can be formed in a variety of ways, including hobbies, going outside, etc. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.

This book, dedicated to, "anyone who has ever stared helplessly at a blank page" is about what happens when someone whose brain is full of ideas suddenly doesn't have an idea for the first time. So she goes looking for one by helping others, admiring other builders, playing, brainstorming, researching great ideas and more. She tries to do anything and it doesn't work, so she takes a break. She even goes and gets new supplies to make herself a new idea! When she worries that she may never have an idea again, she gets the most magnificent idea.
This is another charming book that fans of The Most Magnificent Thing will love The illustrations show a lot of personality in the character and add to the playful nature of the text. The story is perfect for aspiring engineers, inventors, writers, artists, and anyone else who may find that they don't always have an idea when you want one. It also provides many great options to help someone come up with an idea.
This book is a fantastic addition to bookshelves to encourage children to go into STEM or even just to continue being creative.

This book tells the story of a creative and inventive little girl who loves coming up with ideas. She enjoys exploring the world around her and designing things she can build. The illustrations are really neat, some have a black and white sketch for the background and more colourful details in the foreground. I could see using this book for inspiration for science, inquiry and art units. It is well written, easy to read and tells important stories about being inquisitive. As a grade 3 teacher, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 5-10 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!

Cute STEM adjacent story about a girl who makes things and has to figure out what to do when she runs out of ideas. But of course inspiration strikes again. I enjoyed the pug assistant.

I received a copy of The Most Magnificent Idea by Ashley Spires from Kids Can Press in exchange for an honest review.
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires is one of my favourite pictures books to share with students and I was so excited to see the release of the follow-up story, The Most Magnificent Idea. In this story, the girl returns and we even see a nice cameo of the most magnificent thing that she had built in the first book. In this story, the girl finds herself having trouble thinking of what to make next. She is out of ideas! And so she sets off looking for inspiration. I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait to share with students as having trouble thinking of ideas is something that we all experience. This book is sure to inspire readers.
