Can I Keep Her?Can I Keep Her? by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a cute little story about a girl who bonded with a dragon. I think many kids will enjoy the story because what child doesn’t dream of owning a pet dragon. I also believe the story shows children how to stick with their beliefs even if everyone else thinks differently. The main character, Wynnie, believes that the dragon can be a great pet and works to prove that. I recommend this story for all the children who love to dream of owning a dragon.

Unicorn, Don't Do That!: It's okay if a Unicorn poops on your doorstepUnicorn, Don’t Do That!: It’s okay if a Unicorn poops on your doorstep by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a cute little story and I really liked it. Stega has to overcome some issues with other children who don’t understand who she is and what she can do. I was glad to see that her real friends did understand and in fact loved her ability to poop rainbows. I think this is a great story for any child who feels that their special talent is not very important or special. I think it will help them to realize that their talents are equally amazing and their friends will greatly appreciate it and continue to be their friend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book, it was a light hearted romance that made me feel good. The story was about the Cupid Seraphina who has a second to help a prior client who did not find true love and happiness the first time. Seraphina is a different kind of Cupid at least she did not fit what I expected of a Cupid. She had some anger issues and really was not a people person, but that made me relate to her more as that could describe me. I enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author.
