Customer Reviews

Inaccurate Description - NO Locket

The description for this listing says it comes with the locket which is the only reason I purchased this. It does not have the locket, book itself is in decent condition but is useless as a gift now. Very disappointed and don’t think I’ll be ordering from this site anymore.

Misleading Description

Beware! This item was listed as “very good” condition and noted that the locket was included with the book. This item does NOT include the locket and was in poor condition.

Disappointed

Came without locket and ripped face on cover. That was not I. Description

Magic locket book

Came without the locket.

The Magic Locket

The Magic Locket is about a little girl who could never do anything right. She tried so hard for things to go the right way, but it seemed that everything she did went wrong. Until one day when her Aunt Emma gave her a golden shiny locket and had told the little girl that it was magical! So every since the little girl wore the locket things went right! That's because she believed in herself when she was wearing the locket. This story is one of my favorite children's book just because it reminds me of me because whenever I try and do something it turns out to be wrong. I think this book would be good for children ages 4 and up because it teaches a lesson that everyone should live by. It teaches you that if you want some things you have to believe in yourself first before you do anything.

what a cute book

Elizabeth Koda-Callan is a wounderful writer. She puts lots of love in this book and is a Fantastic writer.THis book is a bout a little girl who can't do anything write and gets very descouraged. For exsample she can't brush her teeth,get dressed,do math, feed her doll's or help with groceries.

Kindergarten to Yale

...This book is so cute and touching, and not only is it a book, it comes with a locket, so it's like two prizes in one. I highly recommend this for people (especially women) of all ages.

Good Book

This story is about a girl that can never do anything right {Like putting on her clothes, brushing her teeth, and doing her math problems for example}. Then one day her Great Aunt comes to visit and she gives her a golden locket that once belonged to her mother. Her Aunt tells her that when she wears the locket, she can do whatever it is she wants, but only if she believes she can. She wondered what was inside of this locket that could have the power to do this. To find out what it was that helped this little girl do the things that she one day thought she couldn't do, read the book.Having two little sisters myself, I think this is a good book for children to read {or have read to them}. This book shows that you have the power to accomplish anything as long as you just believe in yourself and what you are doing. I believe that is a good lesson for kids today to learn, so read the book today!

Cute story of self-worth

I'm almost twenty, and I'm writing this review to rave about a book written for a five-year-old. Why? Although, it's plot is simple and very elementary, Elizabeth Koda-Callan's story rings true for all ages.The little girl's realization that the magic in her life lies within herself is a very sincere and meaningful idea. I received this book as a high school graduation present, but I still wear the locket that comes with the book as a reminder that the magic that I see in my life is the magic I create.This book is a great story of knowing who you are and knowing that nothing can let you down if you continue to believe in yourself.
