Reviews for Mortimer's Magical Goo
"Like Mortimer, young readers will gain an appreciation for effort—the imperfect process of trying—over any illusion of perfection. Palmer blends wish-fulfillment with realistic activities in Mortimer’s Magical Goo, emphasizing how doing the work is as important as the end result."
"A thoughtful and emotionally perceptive picture book about effort, friendship, and learning that imperfection is part of growing up... A warm and meaningful read for children learning about perseverance, self-confidence, and the value of shared experiences, and a strong addition to school and public library collections focused on social-emotional learning, friendship, and personal growth."
"Mortimer’s worries about making an effort, being perfect, and preserving the delightful things in life translate to a fun tale that holds many thought-provoking moments of realization about the underlying possibilities of adversity and the detriments of leading a life without challenge."
-- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer
