Serious Sas and Messy Magda - reviews!!

We’re excited here at the Escape Club to see the first reviews for Serious Sas and Messy Magda.

Over at Chic Peak, Katie Friedmann reviews the book and describes it as “beyond adorable!”

And then there are these comments on Amazon UK:

“Eye catching illustrations and a beautiful story.” Nicole W

“We have already read the story a few times, and my daughter is asking if I can buy her some more stories with Sas and Magda in- so hopefully there will be more stories soon.” Becster73

And Diana Pinguicha has this to say on GoodReads:

I have a soft spot for picture books. They’re short, pretty and often very, very sweet. So when I learned that Marianne was going to write a picture book, I was more than thrilled. Marianne should be synonym for versatility and I was eager to say what she’d come up with.

Serious Sas and Messy Magda is about a very tidy girl whose mother is, as the title says, messy. They’re polar opposites in all ways, with Sas reading advanced science books while her mother performs magic tricks. Sas is embarrassed of her mother as children often are because they’re so different from their parents. Then comes the ending that will leave a smile on your face.

The art is quirky and fun. I found myself lingering on the pages to look for tiny little details — namely how the family pets acted when they were with Sas or Magda. It’s a pretty book with an even prettier story.

As an adult, I loved it. I think children will too.
