Riley is an imaginative child with a great big secret flowing through her extra-long chocolate brown ponytails. With a flip, a swoosh, and a twirl, they spark a special kind of magic, allowing her to set sail on the high seas with a neighborhood dog, latch onto a shimmering star, skate on the ribbons of a rainbow, and even time travel to a pre-historic land where she meets up with a ginormous friend. From the publisher of Grammy Award-winning Brandi Carlile's Caroline and Graham Nash's Our House, The Girl with the Magic Ponytails offers colorful imagery and prose for children under eight, inspiring them to explore their own unique magic and vivid imagination. Written by food and culture journalist Karen J. Young and illustrated by award-winning artist Yoko Matsuoko.
Review: The Girl With the Magic Ponytails: French Tales by Karen J. Young and illustrations by Yoko Matsuoka
Maybe your family has plans to watch the Paris Olympics this summer. Or maybe you have a kid who wants to see the world, but right now their imagination is their best passport. The Girl With the Magic Ponytails: French Tales is a fun and colorful way to encourage kids to use their imaginations to travel. The book incorporates onomatopoeia and rhyming into its repetitive phrases that move the story along.
The incorporation of food, such as traditional French treats, is prominent throughout the story. It’s a great opportunity to engage children in learning about parts of French culture after reading. Readers will also learn about famous French cultural elements like art and car racing. All of the illustrations are colorful and magical.
