Zibs for Sale (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Donya Pedigo
Zibs for Sale: a retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lois Wickstrom is a magical author that brings life lessons through cute, entertaining stories. This is the third book in her (I am an Alien) series about Shirl and her alien friend Eee-ahh. This book is beautifully illustrated with colorful fun scenes that bring the story to life. In this installment, Shirl and Eee-ahh hear a song through Shirl’s interstellar radio, which starts them on a fun adventure through space. It’s on this adventure that Shirl mistakenly takes a zib thinking it was free and is accused of stealing. This brings up good lesson opportunities on stealing and doing the right thing as Eee-ahh wants to run off and leave without helping the Ba-Kerr (whom Shirl accidentally stole from) as payment for her stealing. I absolutely love these children’s books and Lois Wickstrom is on my automatic buy list.
