Summary: A great book!
Comment: Muggie Maggie is about a girl who doesn't want to write in cursive. Then it starts to be a problem and her mom has to go to a parent teacher conference. Then when she tries to write in cursive she draws roller coasters instead of cursive. Then she goes to the guidance counselor. My favorite part was when she goes to the guidance counselor because I had a good picture in my mind. Maggie also has a dog named kisser, and is very cute. Muggie Maggie is a very good book. Muggie Maggie is very exciting. I give it four stars. You should read this book.

Summary: Muggie Maggie by Beverly Cleary
Comment: This is a wonderful story of a young girl and the obstacles she has to overcome to read and write cursive. Beverly Cleary takes Maggie on a journey everyone must go through early in school. Maggie confronts the conflict within herself to fight the desire to learn cursive. Maggie does not want to learn cursive because her teacher said to; she wants to learn in her own time. Maggie does some changing through the story and finally does find the joy of reading and writing cursive. Third graders learning cursive can relate to Maggie and the struggles she experiences. A must read for all young readers!

Summary: Motivating Muggie Maggie Review
Comment: Beverly Cleary is amazing and truly gifted when it comes to relating to children, and the reader will find these to be very realistic problems presented in her books.
In Muggie Maggie, Maggie's conflict is with Maggie's parents, teacher, and even peers who try to help her, but are having a difficult time recognizing her position. Maggie is scared to learn a new, difficult skill, which is something any person at any age can relate to. Although this seems to be the best conclusion as to why Maggie was so stubborn about learning cursive, for a young audience reading the book, it might have been better told through Maggie's eyes and thoughts versus those of a storyteller/narrator.
In addition, there were important elements between her parents, teacher, and principal deciding how to address this situation that would have been missed, if the story was told by Maggie.
The behavior of the parents and school staff was very realistic. The parents were put in the awkward position of trying to support her, recognize the situation she was in, but try to give her the pressure to succeed with this skill. Her teacher and principal were in a similar position, but had to develop subtle techniques to successfully, motivate her.
Very good story!
