My kids love dinosaurs. They’ve asked me to read this to them multiple times since we got it. I loved that these books taught about teamwork and my young kids were able to pick up on it. Everyone would love this book, its good for younger kids, but as an adult, I really enjoyed it also.

By Lois Wickstrom

5 Stars out of 5 Stars

I picked up this book to read to my 2 year old niece at night since I was babysitting for a couple of days and she really loved it. The adorable friendship between Conifer and Spike brings warmth to anyone’s heart. The pictures are extremely cute and dinosaurs are always a hit with my nieces. If you are looking for a short book to read to your kids or to teach them how to read, I think this book would be great for you. My favorite was Saving Conifer’s Eggs. I definitely think this book was a win.

This book had two really good stories for any child just starting to read. Both stories dealt with how friends working together can solve a problem. The characters were funny and nice, plus who doesn’t love dinosaurs. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has small children that love stories about dinosaurs.

Conifer and Spike are dinosaurs and they are best friends, in this book we hear two tales of their friendship and how even though sometimes they disagree, they work together in the end.

In the first book, the nearby volcano is erupting, all Conifer wants to do is run away, but Spike insists on giving the volcano a present and decides on a necklace, so together they move a ring of stones around the base, but will this keep the volcano happy?

In book 2, Spike and Conifer return, but this time there is a forest fire, they both agree that they have to leave, but Conifer only has two hands and three eggs! Will they all be able to escape the fire?

This is a book for young and old alike in this tale charming tale talking about science, dinosaurs and of course friendship.

I really enjoyed these books! I am an elementary reading intervention teacher and found that these would be engaging for the kids that I work with. The story was engaging and I feel like my students would like them. I look forward to reading other ones by this author. I also would like to use this in the classroom.

Another book that I picked up for a teacher friend’s classroom and this is a perfect addition because it is two stories in one book. I loved the illustrations and that both books shared the same characters. I loved how they were able to teach one another to solve a problem. I also loved that the friends were able to comfort one another when things were happening, and they wanted to run away. This is a splendid example of not being afraid to confront a challenge head on. This is a terrific book for early elementary readers although there are a couple of words that may be a bit difficult for them. But if you use that as a teaching tool then they will be perfectly fine. Highly recommended for kids and classrooms alike.

I got these two books because my 10 year old is a dino nerd. He reads all kinds of dinosaur books . These books have two simple stories, both revolving around an Ankylosaurus and a T-Rex. In the first story, the Ankylo, Spike wants to give a present to a Volcano which is dormant and would’nt erupt. He builds a necklace out of rocks around the Volcano, and when the volcano indeed erupts , it is the necklace which stops the lava from overflowing to the ground.

In the second story, the two dinosaurs have to escape the wild fire. When the T-Rex , Conifer is finding it hard to take three eggs in her two hands, Spike accidentally knocks down a tree by impatiently swinging his tail. The two dinosaurs escape the forest into the river on the tree.

What is not to like about these books, nothing. This book is meant for kids, and me and my son had a blast reading these books. Looking forward to more on dinosaur series from this author.

This is a cute book for children. Stories and pictures what more could a child ask for. I love that it has many different skills that younger children can learn. It teaches them it is okay to be yourself and true to your feelings. I will be reading this to my child. I am a fan of this author for future children’s books.

This was such a good children’s story! Cute, short and sweet about two friends, Conifer and Spike navigating adventurous situations together. The two books in one is such a great idea. You love the characters and want more; in this book you get it!! The illustrations were also great! Realistic as well as beautiful and fun.

This is a super cute, two book download about two dinosaur friends working together even when they have different ideas. The illustrations are great, too.

In the first book, Conifer (a female T-Rex) notices that a volcano is erupting and wants them to run to safety but Spike (a male ankylosaurus) wants to give the volcano a present. The friends work together to figure out what to do.

In the second book, Conifer is sitting on her next of three eggs when Spike runs to warn her that there is a fire. This time Spike is ready to run but Conifer can’t leave her eggs or carry them all to safety. Again, the friends work together on a solution.

These two stories are quick and fun reads, the stories are cute and entertaining while they help to show the meaning of friendship. Little ones will enjoy the dinosaurs and their antics. Conifer and Spike learn to cooperate and to think out of the box to solve their problems. These stories help youngsters understand that working together will not only solve the problem quicker, but it will also help friendships strengthen. Alongside the stories are cute pictures to enhance the tales.

Dinosaur Friends: 2 books in 1: A Present for the Volcano and Saving Conifer’s Eggs by Lois Wickstrom .This is an awesome storybook for children. My 4 and 9 year old nephews loved it. The first book is A Present for the Volcano and its about Spike and Conifer who are best friends. When they see a volcano Spike thinks its frowning because its sad so they decide to make it a necklace. The second book is Saving Conifer’s Eggs and its about the forest being on fire and Conifer having 3 eggs. Conifer is scared she can’t get out with all three eggs. Will they be able to devise a plan to save them all? The 2 stories are so sweet and full of lessons on friendship and working together. They will make any 4-9 year old happy!

Dinosaur Friends: A Present for the Volcano

This story was short and sweet. It’s a story of Spike and Conifer who are best friends. Spike sees an unhappy (erupting) volcano and wants to give it a present. The two friends build the volcano, a necklace of stones, which is made to look like a ring of stones around the base of the volcano. Eventually, the volcano fully erupts and the friends go running. When they stop to look back, they realize their necklace of stones is blocking any flowing lava.

Dinosaur Friends: Saving Conifer’s Eggs

This is another short and sweet story about Spike and Conifer. When the forest where they live catches fire, Spike comes to warn his friend, Conifer. Conifer isn’t sure what to do since she can’t carry all 3 eggs with only 2 hands, and she has to be very careful that they don’t break. When Conifer is worried about her next, Spike waits impatiently and ends up knocking down a tree with his long tail. The two friends use the tree to safely escape the forest fire by using it to float down the river.

These were adorable! I love the themes of teamwork and camaraderie in both! The pictures were fabulous and dinosaurs are always cool! The kids I know will love them! Their parents will like them too, because with a strong focus on working with others and friendship, they demonstrate healthy skills and relationship traits while still having a good storyline to keep the littles interested.

My niece and nephew always love when I bring them a new Wickstrom story book; she is one of their favorite authors. This book was even more exciting for them, two stories in one. These stories followed Dino friends Conifer and Spike on two different adventures. Along the way the two learn about kindness, working together, and understanding just to name a few skills. The story is well written and with excellent illustrations. I would recommend this as well as Wickstrom’s other books for elementary ages kids, or kids that are struggling with their reading levels. Overall an adorable story with a moral.

Loved that this was 2 books in one. It was colourful and engaging and was a nice easy read. My 12 year old loved it and loved the underlying messaging contained within it; teaching that it is worth working through your problems and patience is a virtue!

The illustrations were great and suited the text well.

Highly recommend this book for your young booklovers.

These were really cute books! They are not the first I’ve read by this author and I always get excited seeing new content from her! Overall I really enjoyed these books. The illustrations are beautiful and the story in both can be very relatable for children of a young age.
In both the books the main characters Spike and Conifer work together to overcome each other’s fears and problem-solve to help one another. I read both of these books to my daughter and she loved them. She loved looking at the pictures and pointing to the dinosaurs while I read the stories. They caught her attention as well as my own right away and as an early childhood educator, I am looking forward to introducing these well-written and illustrated stories into my classroom!
I would highly recommend these books to anyone with children or as a gift for a child who loves dinosaurs and reading!

These are cute and very “interesting” stories for kids. They follow two dinosaurs, who get into highly dangerous situations, but use the power of friendship and their thinking caps to keep one another safe from harm. The stories are definitely unique but gave me a chuckle. 4/5 for me.

This book is a 2 for one book, just flip it over for the next story. Spike ( an ankylosaurus) and Conifer (a tyrannosaurus) are friends and work well together. Sometimes they disagree but most of the time not. When a volcano in the distance is erupting what do you think happens next? In Book 2 there is a fire and Conifer has got to save her eggs. Spike comes to help her and they make a plan to get to safety. Where do you think they go? I will not give out spoilers! I have been following this author and her children’s books. They all have something new for the children to learn. The illustrations are just as interesting as the story itself. I recommend this book to teachers and children alike.

These are such cute stories for kids! They are very easy to read so young children will be able to learn how to read them quickly and they will love them. The pictures are adorable, even on the Kindle format, which is very nice. The stories are about 2 dinosaur friends working together to solve 2 very different issues. In the first story, we have a volcano about to blow and Spike wants to give the volcano a necklace, while the other Conifer wants to run away! In the second story, there is a forest fire, but Conifer, has laid 3 eggs, and she only has 2 hands. Her friend Spike comes to help her, but he walks on 4 legs. They have to work together if they want to make it out safe!

A Present for the Volcano
I thought this was a great children’s book. It was short and to the point with just enough repetition to help those that are just getting acquainted with reading. Even in just a few pages it showed being mindful and kind even with a big, angry, scary volcano!

Saving Conifer’s Eggs
Spike and Conifer are at it again in another short and to the point book about problem solving and friendship. I had a lot
of fun reading this short adventure with my 6 year old. Added bonus, we love the illustrations.

Two books in one with Spike and Conifer, two dinosaurs who have formed a friendship helping one another. The first book is about a volcano ready to erupt and how Spike and Conifer come up with a solution to temper the situation. The second book is about Conifer’s eggs that need saving and coming up with a solution that not only saves the eggs but helps Spike too. Both books are fun to read with great problem solving skills that are easy to engage the young readers into helping figure out what will happen next.

A Present for the Volcano finds Conifer and Spike trying to figure out how to make the volcano happy so it won’t erupt. Saving Conifer’s Eggs finds them working together to save themselves from a fire. The stories encourage communication and teamwork, which are good skills for children to learn. The illustrations are vibrant and inviting, really bringing the stories to life! I am so glad we discovered these stories! They will be in our regular reading rotation from now on!

There are two stories in this collection and both of them were full of bright and vibrant colors, a great story for children, and of course adventure. I originally picked these up because I thought they were cute, but lately my six year old has developed a love of dinosaurs so these were perfect for bedtime. So wether you just love dinosaurs or you need a new bedtime story for the kids make sure you pick up this wonderful collection today.

A Present for The Volcano speaks volumes about perspective and perceptions. Conifer was worried all day and just wanted to get out of the situation, but her friend did what they could to make the situation better. They prepared and took action, and while it was questionable how it would turn out, Conifer decided to trust her friend and help. And in the end, she was able to see from a different point of view. These stories are adorable. Mama Conifer T-Rex and her ankylosaurus friend work together when a problem comes up. Even when things look dark, they find a way. The artwork is amazing too. I love the textures and the colors. I definitely recommend both!
