Mum’s Got Magic is a rhyming picture book about the activities a mother and her daughter share together in a day, hoping to ultimately form fond memories for both.
While the intended message is sweet, the actual book fails to deliver it. Rather than being a day to remember, the activities just seem all over the place; disconnected and appear to be just thought of to fill pages. The story could have taken on a single day and walked us through the mother and daughter spending it in a chronological order or a consistent manner, or it could have listed these random activities in a more logical method.
In order to keep the events in a rhyme, the story forsakes creativity and borders on silliness. The story could have abandoned the rhyming manner to elaborate more on the actions for the children to imagine them better, or it could have invested in the rhyme to actually tell something rather than just rhyme. The division of the lines should have also adhered to this rhyme, but it simply ignores it.
The art work is nice and the message is wholesome, it just was not plotted / edited thoroughly enough to be satisfactory.
