The Empty Box (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jennifer Crain
The Empty Box by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an adorable story about a kid who receives a magical unbirthday present. The illustrations are engaging and the story line keeps you wondering what trick Caspian is going to try next with his gift.
I enjoyed how much the author left the gifts to the imagination- things that may be possible, but haven’t been invented yet, which stretches mine (and any young reader)’s imagination.
From a social emotional stand point, the book offers readers a chance to discuss delayed gratification and disappointment at an age-appropriate level. The story line is realistic with a touch of magic.
