Magno the Magnificent
Musings on Humanity in Times of Crisis
by
Gilbert Le Gras
and
Olivier Le Gras
Magno the Magnificent has never known life outside of quarantine, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying every second! This is the whimsical story of a charming, mischievous, and playful English bulldog and his human family. Magno the Magnificent charges forward into the world with all the gusto he can muster. Naturally curious, our wrinkly four-legged friend exudes contagious optimism and joie-de-vivre irresistible to anyone he encounters. Peppered with prose and verse, recipes and rap, and pictures and illustrations, Magno the Magnificent: Musings on Humanity in Times of Crisis will put a smile on your face at the turn of every page.
“A wonderful “tail” of furry friends, fun adventures, and important life lessons for any age or species.” —Evan B., Arlo’s human, Ottawa, Ontario “A delightful read about the friendship between two- and four-legged creatures as seen through the eyes of Magno-I-Am. Interwoven with wonderful drawings and pictures. It is sure to bing a smile to your face and warm your hearts.” —Ilse Schamp, avid reader, Winnipeg, Manitoba “This was a fun read and I imagine the dog recipes will be welcomed by all dog owners.” —Harumi Nakanishi, Gatineau, Quebec “This is a really fun and imaginative read that’s good for all ages. It contains great lessons for dogs and humans alike.” —Andrew Gonçalves, Lola’s human, Ottawa, Ontario “A very endearing account chronicling one mighty canine and his doubting owner’s experiences as they navigate life’s ups and downs.” —Peter L., Arlo’s human, Ottawa, Ontario
