Opinion:
Magic in Windowland is a creative story that thinks outside the box. The story helps little ones look at the world through creative eyes. This picture book is a great story to help kids get excited about using their imaginations. The story is similar to The Chronicles of Narnia, but in a simpler form. The illustrations are a good fit for the story. I liked how the colors were portrayed as blue or grey to depict a setting in a windowsill. The illustrations support the text well. For example, when the window was 'fogged," the author changed the text to a larger font with a foggy design around the text. I think the lesson is to teach little ones how much fun you can have using your imagination. The ending was left on a cliffhanger which gives the option for another book. There were a couple of grammatical errors, but the story is a great choice for little ones.
