Meatball has done it again As author and illustrator of The Magic of Mister Taloo, she tells an awesome story. Through the journey of magic, Mr. Taloo displays the ultimate example of compassion. He's the greatest magician around, and he's loved by all. People from far and wide come to see his great magic. But he is not satisfied. He wants to do a whole lot more. And so he works to find his niche Jon, Cappy, and Marta-characters from Meatball's previous books-can't wait to see the great Mr. Taloo. They learned a valuable lesson, that of allowing nature to perform its role. That great lesson was rewarded with tickets to see The Magic of Mister Taloo. Meatball continues to bring to us the teachable moment through real-life experiences. She offers the young reader an opportunity to thoughtfully reflect on behaviors that have an impact and use them to decide how they might resolve some issues in their own lives. Through her wonderful stories, children connect to the very things that encourage learning by example. But parents learn a little something too-a test to the magic of Meatball and the Family Bonding Books
