First and foremost, illuminating children's minds and building their visual sensitivity with a fore story of the wonders behind the fields of corn is an excellent figment. KJ Blocker used Treasure of the magical mine moppet to show that reading is fun, enduring, as well as an emblem of culture and family especially on a farm. There is a life and working process that brings hopes, suspense, and dreams. Great for children and teaching English as a second language. Vivid and outspoken.

This book being a children's book, I am not the target audience. But still, such books are my favorite. They are fun to read. Sad the book contains fewer illustrations. It would have been better if the book had more pictures to illustrate. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

Thank you for the review. This book seems to resemble classic works such as The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, or Charlotte's Web, although this type of literature has never caught my attention particularly. Anyway, it seems it transmits appropriately valuable lessons for children.

A YA charming story that revolves around a magical world. I like a book where children can learn life lessons from, in this case - honesty! This is a good book. Too bad there are challenges with the illustrations.
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

This book by K J Blocker though out of my age range would prove most enlightening to kids on many life lessons.

I don't even know where to start with this book. First, the cover is gorgeous. I couldn't wait to dive into the sample just to see where all of the glitter and gold came from. I love the illustrations in the sample, yet I agree with the reviewer and I wish there were more of them. They add so much personality to the novel. This is a book that I will gladly share with my grandchildren and thankfully, I was lucky enough to win a copy. Thank you for the magnificent review. It was fun to read and quite magical in itself.

The story deals with family issues and pulling together for a common cause to save both the salt mine with the Mine Moppets and the Ubercorn from the greedy banker, Mr. Withers. This book has both elements of real-life issues, as well as some make-believe characters and inventions. The beginning of the book set up the plot quite well.

This sounds so cute! And in my opinion, the best children’s stories also have good lessons in addition to a fun plot. I have elementary school aged children for whom this book would be perfect, so I will definitely sample and consider. Thanks for the informative and enthusiastic review!

This sounds like a fun, sweet read that will teach kids that life may not always be sunshine and rainbows, but even when disappointments happen, they can persevere with the help of love, family, and friendship. Great review!
