Aww… hehe! 

Do you like working in teams? It’s not always fun when someone tells you how to do something you are good at, right? Our little girl in red and her doggy assistant face the same problem here. She is first happy to have a fellow builder join hands, but soon they realize how different their working processes are. But then, you can still create something magnificent if you know how to support each other, when to compromise, and when to hold your ground.  

This fourth book in the series should work as a standalone. The little girl in red meets her neighbor (possibly the granddaughter of the gray cat’s hooman). The neighbor is equally adorable with those super large specs and her curly Black hair. 

The book shows the excitement of making new friends, the disagreements that inevitably happen, and how kids can put their differences aside to work as a team and learn from each other. The writing is simple and aligned with the illustrations. 

The pets also have matching expressions and body language. The illustrations really nail their emotions. I love it! The background is minimalistic, and the characters and their creations pop up. 

To summarize, The Most Magnificent Team is a lovely book that kids can resonate with and learn from. It would also encourage them to be creative and work with friends. 

Thank you, Edelweiss+ and Kids Can Press, for the eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.
