A curse on cursive! Maggie doesn't really mean it when she vows never to read and write those wiggly, squiggly, roller-coaster letters. After all, she uses the computer. But everybody seems to be taking her revolt very, very seriously.

Maggie's parents say she'll enjoy it once she starts. Her teacher doesn't want to listen when she points out how untidy grown-ups' handwriting can be. And her classmates think it's a riot when her first try at signing her name makes it look like "Muggie." Now Maggie is too embarrassed to back down. Why can't she just go on printing her whole life?

Newbery medalist Beverly Cleary has penned a wise and funny book, filled with the perceptive humor that has earned her generations of fans.

It is an okay book

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

It is a pretty short book. The storyline is good but it did not hold a 7-year-old's attention. Probably best for ages 8-10. Basically Maggie does not want to do cursive. My 9-year-old liked it, the only reason I'm giving it four stars is because it is a little short and my 7-year-old did not enjoy it. Maybe it is just my certain 7-year-old? Maybe other 7-year-olds will love, love, love this book? It's pretty good.

Muggie Maggie rating

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017

I think that this book is a really good book. I think it shows tone when I read it. I also think that it shows creativity and time that when into this book. Muggie Maggie is a book that I know that I will read a lot of times, and will enjoy it very much each one. I recommend this book to anyone who feels like they cannot do something, someone who needs encouraging, or maybe someone who does not think that it is possible. When I read this book, I feel like I can do anything after I read it. That it why I thing that this book is a very good book, deserves to be rated this well.

Terrific book my granddaughter loved

My granddaughter was reading this book in school and loved it so much she wanted her own copy of the book for her own. This is a really cute story about Maggie discovering her own reasons for wanting to learn cursive after she Initially refuse to learn it

Good quick story

Summer reading for our 2nd (going into 3rd) grader. Short enough to be enjoyable, challenging enough to keep him sharp in the summer months. Good quick story. He's normally not a Cleary fan in his reading choices(Hardy Boys, Secret Zoo and I survived), but he liked this book a lot.

You should learn cursive!

I liked Maggies attitude, she was kinda of bossy but it was understandable in that situation. I liked her dog, Kisser. Good read ages 7 to 12.

Second Grade Book Review: We recommend this book to students learning cursive

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

The following book review is written by students in 2M after completing their most recent book clubs:

Muggie Maggie is written by Beverly Cleary. It is about a girl that refuses to learn cursive. First, she hates cursive because she only likes to type on the computer. Then, she is upset because she cannot read cursive. Next, she becomes the message monitor. Find out if she learns to like cursive. We would give Muggie Maggie a 7 ½ out of 10. We liked it because the ending was surprising. We recommend this book to 2nd and 3rd graders because they learn cursive.
