Review\n'Written with a gold-tipped pen! A wonderfully sweet story of a little mouse trying to find 'Magic' for her Grandpa. But where is it?' A 'Wishing Shelf' Book Review\n"It's so very important for many parents and grandparents to find fun, compelling storybooks for young children to enjoy before they go to sleep. And I'm delighted to report that Millie's Magic is fun - and compelling! Not only that, there's also a sweet message of 'magic is within us' that most children (and parents) will understand and like. So, what's the story about? Well, there's a little mouse called Millie and she has a big problem. It's her Grandpa's birthday tomorrow and she hasn't got a present for him. So she sets off on the hunt for Magic - the perfect present - which, as you all know, can be very difficult to find. On her adventure, she meets other animal characters (a badger, a chicken and a frog) and ands up exploring forests - and even ponds! But, no matter where she looks, she can't find Magic. 
"This is a superbly written storybook. The pros are simple and most young children over the age of five will find it easy to follow. It's also not overly long - which can be a blessing for a tired parent - and there's a wonderful 'mystery' element to the story (where is Magic?) which is cleverly wrapped up at the end in a thoughtful and sweet way. Now to the illustrations. For my six year old daughter, who also read the book, they were the best part of the story. Yes, she enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the way the author described the setting, but it was the colorful, even delightful drawings that kept her interest. There are plenty too, and they, along with the lightly written story kept her enthralled for the evening. To sum up, this is a sweetly written book with a fantastic message and full of vibrant characters. I suspect most children aged 4 to 7 will find this fun; not only that, I think most parents will enjoy it too. And don't forget to try and find the little mouse hidden on every page!" 
A 'Wishing Shelf' Editorial Reviewer Book Review\nBRONZE MEDAL WINNER of the Wishing Shelf Book Awards for picture books published 2021\nAn Indie Books We Love title for the UK's top book recommendation site, LoveReading4Kids: 
'Millie's Magic' by Hilary Hawkes is a sweet little book about one little mouse's hunt for a special birthday gift. Firstly, I really liked the illustrations, they're textured like an acrylic painting, bright and colourful and I'm sure they'll capture young readers' attention. Millie is on the hunt for some magic to give to her Grandpa for her birthday, we see her head through forests and climb mountains as she hunts for the perfect gift.\nI liked that at the start of the book it mentions different things that young readers could count or look out for through the story and there's activities at the end for them to enjoy. There's also a great concept behind 'Millie's Magic' , a "Feel-Loved" book that has a positive and heart-warming message at the end. Simple, sweet storytelling rounds this book off to make it a nice and gentle read for any young reader, either as a bedtime story or at any time. A wonderfully illustrated picture book filled with positivity and love."\n5 Stars: "A wonderfully illustrated story for young children packed full of adorable animal characters. A Bronze Medal Winner and Highly Recommended." Wishing Shelf Book Awards.
