“The Magic Blanket” is an incredible book that bonds children and their parents through the world of fantasy. Amy is a lovely little girl whose mother gifts her with a magic blanket that she made for her, decorated with pictures from a wondrous dream world. The magic blanket takes Amy on an amazing adventure!
A little Elf hops out of the blanket as Amy is going to sleep and asks her to join him on an exciting voyage to the Fairy Tale Realm. Amy agrees and starts out on a magical adventure with the Elf. She meets the Royal King and Queen, is invited to their “Enchanted Land”, and does many fun things, like attending a Fairy Ball, enjoying a Musical Performance of Frogs and Crickets, and attending a Mushroom Tea Party with tiny Woodland Creatures. And … they play tag with Pegasus as they fly through the stars! They also visit the Man in the Moon and slide down a Rainbow!
Upon returning from her journey, Amy learns that she has the ability to create a wonderful World of Dreams in her own mind, that she can create at any time. Her mother’s gift of a Magic Blanket was her entrance into this magical world of fantasy.
I was very impressed with the lovely, colorful imagery in this book, and the manner in which the world of fantasy brings Amy such joy. This is a gentle, well-written book that provides the venue for a parent to bond strongly with their child. (Although intended for parents, this can also be used by grandparents, aunts and uncles, and family friends.)
This is part of Mastrangelo’s “Come Play With Me” books and includes activities at the end of the story that parent and child can do together. Activities include learning to Night Dream and Day Dream, write and perform your own play about the Magic Blanket, paint a rainbow, and bake delicious Tea Party Cookies. There are downloads for coloring pages, pictures, cards, and decorations.
I highly recommend this book as a way to bond with a child, but also to help them access their imagination, and understand the true power they have over their own lives.
