Caspian and his grandpa are off on a new adventure with his newest unbirthday gift! A pair of brown socks! This story briefly touches on things such as graciousness, thankfulness, and spending time with family. This is a unique short story that is creative, a dash of the unexpected with an enjoyable time. I would recommend this book to younger children. It is an adorable read.

This is a fun children’s read about Caspian’s UnBirthday present, hot chocolate socks and the adventures they lead to. Caspian can’t seem to find anything good in getting brown socks as a gift until his grandpa shows him what the brown hot chocolate socks really can do.

This is a cute, imaginative story that has very colorful and appealing illustrations that help the reader travel through Caspian’s adventure along with him. This book has magic, adventure, and even shares knowledge in such a fun way that most won’t realize they are learning simultaneously. I truly enjoy and love this series by Lois Wickstrom about Caspian and his family. These are short stories that will spark most children’s imaginations while having a lesson hidden in them. The only thing I found remotely bothersome about this book is that grandpa lets Caspian skip school to go on an adventure because it’s his unbirthday. Do special days need to be celebrated? Yes, but it needs to be said how important school is as well. Definitely a series worth checking out though.

It is February 14th and it is Caspian’s Unbirthday and every year, his Grandpa gets him a mysterious gift and when Caspian wakes up, this year is no exception, he finds his Unbirthday box and sees a note within “Enjoy your hot chocolate socks” but when he just sees brown socks, Caspian is disappointed.

When he is asked about it, he answers “What is good about brown socks?” but his Grandpa has a smile on his face and so when he pours some hot chocolate on Caspian’s socks, he is unimpressed until he starts to float in the air! His Grandpa soon joins him in the air and passes Caspian a broom while grasping a mop, but where will they go on their adventure?

This is a fun filled children’s book with a good message and beautiful illustrations within which can be enjoyed by all ages with its upbeat story and wholesome content.

Caspian gets unusual gifts from his grandfather, of course, they’re never what they appear to be. I love the imagination the author has in creating these books! Something so innocuous as socks can be great fun with just a little imagination. The illustrations are straightforward and make the story easy to follow and visualize. Whimsical and fun, this story has magical elements that are sure to inspire young minds!

Every year on his Unbirthday Caspian receives a present from his Grandpa. When Caspian receives brown socks for his unbirthday present he is disappointed because brown socks is not what he wanted. When Grandpa tells him to put hot chocolate on his socks something unusual happens. Suddenly Caspian is flying through the air and so is Grandpa. Thanks to their magical hot chocolate socks they are able to go flying in the air on a series of adventures.

This is a cute book for kids about silly adventures between a boy and his Grandpa. It is beautifully illustrated which brings the story to life. I am sure that children of all ages will love the little adventure that Caspian and his Grandpa go on. A fun read!

As usual with this author this is a fun and interactive book that the whole family has enjoyed reading. It was engaging and lively but still had a strong lesson running through it. The story appealed to both my children, despite their age difference. My eldest was thoroughly disappointed when her socks didn’t make her fly too.
Lois Wickstom is definitely a firm favourite in our house. All of her books are read multiple times and it is always exciting when we get a new one. We are already looking forward to the next one we get.

I really like Wickstrom’s books and how she always weaves lessons into them. This is the really cute story of Caspian, his UnBirthday, and his Grandpa’s gift, Hot Chocolate Socks. Caspian, at first, isn’t excited about his UnBirthday gift, but his mother reminds his that there’s always something good to be found in gifts we are given. Then Grandpa shows Caspian how special his socks are and Grandpa has a pair as well. They end up spending the day together having adventures. It’s a really good reminder that we all need to find the good in things and sometimes we need to take days off to have some fun.

Even I as an adult really enjoy Caspian’s Unbirthday’s and Grandpa’s gifts along with my grandkids. Although I was a bit hesitant to read this one with them. Why? Because I was wary that they would want to spill hot chocolate on their socks. I was right they did.
Grandpa and Caspian find themselves transport in a broom and mop and zoom off on adventures. It is a story that will make even an adult dream of being able to fly and the places you could go.
With bright and colourful illustrations that children will love join Caspian and Grandpa on this fun magical adventure.

My favorite books by this author have to be all of the books with Caspian. Not only is the artwork lovely to look at, I am so jealous that Caspian and his grandpa have so many cool adventures together. The story is so exciting and very creative, I love to see what unbirthday present Caspian gets next and what fun he gets into.

Caspian’s UnBirthday (Invisible Magic Wand) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

Caspian’s UnBirthday is the third book in the Invisible Magic Wand series by Lois Wickstrom. This book is another great addition to the Invisible Magic Wand series. I love the creativity that was used by Wickstrom with the hot chocolate socks. I enjoyed Caspian and his grandpa’s adventures for his unbirthday.

This book is about the birthday present Caspian’s grandpa gave him, it was not your average birthday present. This year all Caspian got was a pair of brown socks from his grandpa called “Hot Chocolate Socks”. What is so special about these socks? They make Caspian float up in the air, but the best part is that grandpa says he cannot go to school on his unbirthday. He has to have a fun adventure instead. Grab a cup of hot chocolate and a copy of Caspian’s UnBirthday to find out about the adventures Caspian and his grandpa have.

I always absolutely love the books by Lois Wickstrom! My kids love when I bring another one to our family reading night, and this was no exception. The illustrations are wonderful, and we all loved reading the story together. My kiddos had a fun time describing and acting out what they would do with their own hot chocolate socks. Caspian’s grandpa really knows how to make Caspian’s UnBirthday more magical than the last. This is such a cute and fun read! I highly recommend picking it up and having a blast with the kids in your life.

Caspian’s grandpa does it again! This time for Caspian’s unbirthday, he is gifted a pair of brown socks. But as we all know, there has to be something special about them. The boring brown socks give Caspian the ability to fly. So instead of going to school, Caspian and his grandpa go on adventures… they always have fun together. Lois Wickstrom writes great children’s adventure books!

This is the third book in the wonderful children’s series of the Invisible Magic Wand. Once again, the writer has done an amazing job telling the story of the next birthday gift given to Caspian by his grandfather. This one involved a pair of socks that allowed him to fly. And fly they did. All over the town enjoying his birthday and his new birthday gift. I loved it. The illustrations are so vivid and vibrant in color and go along with the story so well. Another book I highly recommend for the kids in your life. Would make a great gift to give to other kids, teachers or even to school libraries.

Who doesn’t want Hot Chocolate Socks? Caspian has the best adventures. This time Grandpa got him the best socks. Pour hot chocolate on them (don’t try this at home) and off they flew with a broom. Fun adventure all day. Another winner for this author. Bright and colorful pictures. An exciting story that brings out conversation with the kiddos. We love Caspian in this house. We are starting our own Unbirthday for our little boy in March this year. We can’t wait to read more.

This is a silly, adventurous book for younger children. It’s Caspian’s unbirthday and he is slightly disappointed with his grandfather’s present. Brown socks! Who wants brown socks? After his grandfather spills hot chocolate on them, Caspian starts floating in the air. The adventure begins as they are both wearing their “hot chocolate socks”. The book is filled with colourful pictures and lots of silliness. This story is sure to be a favourite among the kiddos.

Caspian’s Unbirthday is the third book in the Invisible Magic Wand series by Lois Wickstrom. This cute children’s adventure book really grabs your attention with the bright and interesting illustrations that accompany the story. Grandpa always manages to come up with the most unusual and fun unbirthday gifts for Caspian, and this time it’s a pair of ‘Hot Chocolate Socks’. As expected, lots of fun and adventure ensue. What do Caspian and Grandpa get up to? Grab a copy of this great, silly little caper and follow along to see what happens.
My grandson and I read this book together and he thought it was silly and fun. I thought it captured the imagination quite well with a little whimsey and magic thrown in to make things interesting. As with the other books in this series, it is an enjoyable story. Suitable for children aged 4 to 8.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Lois Wickstrom!

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.
