Milo and the Magical Stones

Milo and the Magical Stones is truly a wonderful story and learning tool for children!! Two outcomes in one book I'm so glad you had it in stock!! One of my childhood favorites!! Thank you

Awesome book!

This was my sons favorite book as a young boy. He had the whole book memorized at 4yrs old! He loved the idea of being able to pick which ending he wanted to hear/read. Now when we need a gift for a young child he always suggests that we buy them this book.

Helping kids to Write/ the concept of ending a story

This book so clearly shows students/children the effect the ending has on a story. It's great if you're teaching students or your own child how to write stories. Just reading it gives them perspective and, with each of their stories, they can write two different endings and choose the better one. This book is FANTASTIC! Get it!

Milo and the Magical Stones

Milo and his mice friends find some glowing, magical stones which led them into making a bad choice or a good choice. This book offers two different endings- a happy one or a sad one. This is a great story for all young children to enjoy. Marcus Pfister's illustrations and texture on the pages capture both children's eyes and hands. After reading the happy ending to my kindergarten class, they could not wait to hear what happened in the sad ending. I highly recommend this book.

A Real Page Turner for Children!

This is a great story to read out loud to a child at the end ofthe day. My kids couldn't wait to see if Milo and the other mice madea good choice or a bad choice in how to handle the magical stones. As a matter of fact, my kids (ages 10,9,and 6) made me go back and read the other ending right away. This book teaches a hard lesson about greed and covetousness without being too preachy. My kids were enthralled with the glowing stones, and the beautiful illustrations. This is a favorite book in our house - I would buy it for any child's library.

We thought this was a magnificent book.

The illustrations were awesome. We liked how the author made the stones shine like gold. This book lets you choose between a happy ending and a sad ending. We liked having a choice. Those of us who chose the happy ending liked it because it taught us that when we take something, it is important to give something in return. Those of us who chose the sad ending liked it because it showed us what would happen if we don't learn this important lesson. We think you would like this book because you can learn a valuable lesson and have fun at the same time.
