The Magical World of Rosie & Rainn: The ZooZoo Cookies by Sydnie Suskind revolves around twins Rosie and Rainn. Rosie wants to buy Rainn a magical Adventure Bike, so she starts a summer camp in their backyard to raise the money. She and Rainn recruit neighborhood kids—Cole, Blue, Whizzo, Sage, Piper, and eventually Evie—to join the camp, where they introduce light magic disguised as games. When the campers grow bored, Rosie and Rainn let them cast one basic spell per day. Things go awry when Evie, frustrated by limits, steals ZooZoo Cookies and transforms into a frog. Riding their pet Niko through the air, she causes chaos before crash-landing. Rosie and Rainn scramble to manage the magical mess and regain control of the camp, and come up with a plan to stop her.

The Magical World of Rosie & Rainn by Sydnie Suskind is an irresistibly charming story that had my youngest reader completely hooked from start to finish. The writing is clever, warm, and full of playful dialogue that captures the magical chaos of kids experimenting with powers just beyond their grasp. As Rosie and Rainn wade through unexpected mishaps that include enchanted vegetables, a spell-happy camper-turned-pink-frog, and a flying pet named Niko, the story maintains a delightful balance of whimsy and gentle lessons. The black and white illustrations by João Francisco are simple but expressive, perfectly complementing the lighthearted tone. There’s a contagious energy in how the characters respond to one another, and the pacing keeps things moving with just the right mix of humor and heart. It’s a wonderfully imaginative read that mixes magic and sibling teamwork in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.

Sydnie Suskind's The Magical World of Rosie & Rainn: The ZooZoo Cookies tells the story of the charming and adventurous twins, Rosie and Rainn. Their father decided that the twins needed to get out for a change of scenery after Rosie created her typical magic mess at home one day. This took them to Rainn's favorite store, Flip Flap Floo. The twins discover the fabled Adventure 6000 bike while exploring the shop and sampling goodies. But they didn't have enough money saved up from babysitting to buy the bike. The twins came up with an amazing idea immediately to help them make more money. They often babysat, so they decided to start a summer camp where young magicals could be babysat all at the same time! More children to watch meant having more money earned in a single day. But of course, having to watch more children came with greater responsibility. Will all those kids be too much for Rosie and Rainn to manage? Read The Magical World of Rosie & Rainn to learn more!

The Magical World of Rosie & Rainn by Sydnie Suskind is well-written, entertaining, and fast-paced. The drawings by João Francisco were delightful and added to the story's magical feel. Despite their differences, the twins were both incredibly charming and lovable in their unique ways. Since I enjoy spending time at home reading books, I could relate to Rainn. He is the ideal role model for young children since he is patient, gentle, and prefers to think about the possible outcome before doing something. I adored Rosie's personality as well. She always finds an inventive way to put things right, she never loses her cheerful attitude, and she knows how to have fun. The story had some valuable lessons that could be learned. Avoiding taking on more than you can handle is one important lesson that has stayed with me. The twins didn't mind the responsibility of caring for five youngsters, who eventually grew to six, because they were so excited about getting the Adventure 6000. Fortunately, Rosie and Rainn were both quick-minded and always managed to make things right. I appreciated Rosie's acknowledgment of their shortcomings. Finally, this already excellent book was made even more exciting by the short story and extra activity at the end. I'm excited for more magical adventures in The Magical World of Rosie and Rainn! Excellent work!
