I read Must-Have Marvin! (Shine Bright Kids series), in exchange for honest review from FlyBy Blog Promotions. The book was written by Christy Ziglar and illustrated by Luanne Marten. The book was published by Ideals Childrens Books. The book is also part of the Shine Bright Kids series.

About the Author: Christy Ziglar (from media kit)

Christy Ziglar, financial planner, mother of twins and niece of legendary motivator and the world’s original optimist, Zig Ziglar, is bringing the same timeless wisdom and ageless advice to an entirely new, younger audience through her new Shine Bright Kids picture book series.

About the Illustrator: Luanne Marten

Thanks to her first-grade teacher, who recognized her superior skills in drawing a robin, Luanne Marten has been drawing, painting, and sketching ever since. She is a great experimenter and has a fresh, whimsical approach that brings her characters to life.

My Review:

The book was a short read about Marvin, who wanted everything he saw, immediately. He put his material possessions before his friendships. He has to learn to value friendships more than new clothes or a new robot. Kalen loved the book. He ran off with the book, shortly after I read it to him, and started flipping through the pages.
