The Book That Can Read Your Mind
By Marianna Coppo
Children’s Picture Book
Recommended for ages 4-8 (but really limitless)
What a fun interactive book! The author adapts a 17th-century Italian magic trick for this amazing book that kids and adults will love. It will provide hours of fun as you test the magic of the book.
A rabbit takes the stage and invites the reader to pick an audience member from the book picture and then you follow the directions as the rabbit magician tries to guess who you have chosen. All 36 audience members get up during a show intermission and switch seats so you will need to find the new seat your original choice has and this is where the magic begins. You will turn to the page the rabbit tells you to and your choice is correctly revealed every time. To also add to all the fun this book provides, the illustrations are adorable and every audience member is a unique character.
I can’t wait to share this book with a group of kids. This would be fun to take to a kid’s party or on a car trip. It is truly a unique book that will not disappoint. Now let the magic begin!
