Can I Keep Her? (Kingdom of Mir Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Rita White

What a good little book for ages 4-8. The illustrations are remarkable with bright colors and with great detail. I read this story to my 4 year old granddaughter, and she loved it. This story is twofold for me. It teaches a child that sometimes you have to try something (under adult supervision) that an older person might not think is the best. It also teaches children that if you work or train something (the dragon) and take time to help and make it understand to follow rules or commands that it makes all the difference in the world.

Another book by this author and another glowing review. I always feel like my reviews could be copied and pasted from book to book but what I write is applicable to them all. This book is fun, entertaining from start to finish and my kids loved reading it. It is such as well imagined story and the illustrations really bring it to life.
This author really is a complete natural at writing children’s stories and there is not a single one we haven’t enjoyed. This book will again be read multiple times I am sure and has already been thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a very great book to read. It takes a little girl to change the perspective of the grown ups on how they look at things. The illustrations are very colorful and capture the attention of the readers.

Can I Keep Her? by Lois Wickstrom is book 2 in the Kingdom of Mir series but there is no order in these books that need to be read. This book has beautiful illustrations and the story is adorable; this book is more so for older kids than younger ones though, and would be an easy read. It teaches acceptance, no matter the difference, and that everyone deserves a chance to be loved.

Can I Keep Her? is the second book in the Kingdom of Mir Series by Lois Wickstrom. We meet up with Wynnie again, whom we met in the first book- ‘Stop That Lion’- and join her new adventure when she discovers a dragon egg. What happens when the baby dragon hatches? Will Wynnie be able to train the dragon to not breathe fire, so the kingdom doesn’t burn down? This cute story is worth reading to find out.
This is another fun children’s fantasy story, that again, has a bit of a fairytale feel. Along the way it explores problem solving, asking questions, finding answers, friendship, family, overcoming challenges, love for animals, basics on animal training, kindness, and compassion.
With interesting and colourful illustrations, plenty of fun, some high stakes, interesting situations, imagination, and adventure – really did make for a great read.
The illustrations are cute and done in a bit of a naïve style, which really suits the story style.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Wickstrom.
Happy reading…

This is the story of Wynnie and the mysterious egg. She quickly learns that it’s a dragon egg and asks the King if she can keep it. At first, the King says no because the baby dragon is breathing fire everywhere and damaging the kingdom! But Wynnie is persistent and promises the King she can train it. He’s hesitant, but since she is his trusted advisor, he gives her ONE day to try to train the baby dragon. Can she do it? I love how Wickstrom is able to weave lessons into her captivating books. Your kiddos will learn a valuable lesson all while being entertained. I love the fantastic illustrations that go along with the story. Definitely pick this one up to add to your collection!

Can I Keep Her? Is exactly what I would say if I ever found an egg and hatchling dragon. But how do you keep it from causing what it is inherently meant to do? Well, you will have to follow along with Wynnie to see what she comes up with.
This is the second book in Lois’ Kingdom of Mir series. It is just as delightful as the first book where there are a bounty of characters. The fun comes alive with the simplistic and colourful illustrations by the artist Timna Green.
Everybody deserves a little love even a misunderstood baby dragon.

The story is filled with action, humor, and heartwarming moments. The characters are well-developed and relatable, with Wynnie being a particularly strong protagonist. Her bravery, kindness, and determination make her a great role model for young readers. The illustrations by Timna Green add a delightful touch to the story, bringing the characters and scenes to life.

One of the standout aspects of this book is its exploration of themes such as responsibility, empathy, and understanding. Wynnie’s love for the baby dragon is genuine, but she also learns to prioritize the well-being of others and the kingdom. The story encourages readers to think about the consequences of their actions and the importance of considering others’ perspectives.

I loved this story. The young girl has such faith that she can train the baby dragon. No one else really does but she totally proves them wrong. You can have faith and do pretty much what you put your mind to. This author has such a creative mind that her stories are so much fun to read. You can almost imagine yourself in the story. The pictures are bright and colorful. I love how she is her father’s most trusted advisor. Girls can be in powerful roles too. This is a story that should be checked out. You’ll enjoy it.
