'My kids LOVED this fun adventure story for a bedtime book. I loved the concept, the illustrations and the characters were so relatable. We had some really fun conversations following this.'
"...The story is fun and entertaining, with easy-to-read sentences emphasizing several positive ideas. Jenny Shann teaches us the value of art... She also shows us the fun of exploring and connecting with nature. But, in particular, she highlights the value of friendship and companionship. The plot is interesting due to the character dynamics in a fantasy environment and the unexpected solutions to challenges...The images by Jim Starr are vibrant and full of life, with tones that reflect each moment of the day...Hermes and the Magic Map will inspire children to use their imagination positively."
