This sounds like such a cute story. It’s too bad you were overwhelmed in the beginning by all the details. I love the concept of two sisters where one looks up to the other and wants to be just like her. Thanks for this excellent review.

The concept of the story and the execution of the narrative are wonderful and engaging. The illustrations are magnificent and support the story. I did get annoyed when the forward stated that it had been proofread and yet I found three errors on the first page alone.

Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch Book Two: Marvelouz Grows a Garden by Karen Fronterhouse is the second book in a series about two young witch sisters, Marvelouz and Sparkleful. Marvelouz, the younger sister, admires Sparkleful's beautiful garden and decides to start her own garden. She buys random seeds and leaves, aiming to create a beautiful garden herself. The book's illustrations and design are significant elements, with Alicja Siemiatkowska bringing the characters to life. The story teaches valuable lessons, such as the concept that no plan is a plan for failure. The older sister's attitude towards her is also appreciated.

The book starts with overwhelming details, but it takes time to get involved in the story. The series has a first part that has not been read, but the overall idea is good and the writer can build on it. The book's editing is excellent, with only one minor mistake. The book has a good moral and beautiful illustrations, but the beginning may not be clear enough.

If I was younger, this is the type of book I would grab off the shelves at first glance. I'm going to pass on reading it but I just downloaded and is going to read it to my little niece. A animated world of magic and witches is one that kids are going to thoroughly enjoy. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

This is a book people who like to copy other people's style should read. It is crazy to see that some people can't just decide to be unique on their own. They prefer to copy the other person. Congrats to the author for winning BOTD

This old guy doesn't fit the mold for someone who would enjoy this book, so I'll take a pass. However, glancing through the pages I was amazed at just how beautiful the images were. Nice work! Congrats on BOTD.

This is a picture book called Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch. It is the second book in the Marvelouz Witch series here, Marvelouz and Sparkleful, where one of them grows a beautiful garden and the other will learn to do good gardening work, with the support of her sister. Good job #BOTD

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction story following two young witches and where the younger witch sister purchases some mysterious seeds at the market and attempts to plant them. What kind of garden will she grow? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Thank you for your great review. I also liked the pictures and the story. I adore children's books with life lessons in them. I was surprised with how many words were in it, so I agree with your recommendation for those 8-12 years of age. I am going to add it to my list of books to read.

As a big sister myself, I resonate with Sparkleful. She didn't chastise her sister after she failed to replicate her beautiful garden, rather, she was helpful. That is a very interesting way to teach children kindness and empathy towards others. And Marvelouz must have learned something from that.!
