Cute book for the kids especially as we introduce Science to them. This is a must read with littles, mine always loves books by Lois Wickstrom and we continue to enjoy them over and over.

Dinopotamus is very caring towards the kids and I love how he keeps them warm at naptime with the “warm spot”. Perfect for our bedtime/naptime routine

It is the end of nap time at Dinopotamus’s school, but he doesn’t want to wake up because his spot is so warm, however, the other kids in his class want the warm spot, so the next day Dinopotamus let’s them nap there.

Unfortunately, the kids complain that it isn’t warm and so Dinopotamus sets out to solve the mystery of why it is always warm where he sleeps? This is a charming way of explaining a scientific principle which will help young children to understand it.

The simplistic ingenuity that this author uses always amazes me. This is such a great way to teach the kids a little science and also have fun. Dinopotamus is a relatable fun character that will have your kid engaged in the book without even knowing they are learning.

This is an author that I never pass up, and my kids make sure of it! We have read several books by them, and somehow they all stand out in their own accord. We loved reading the other books with Dinopotamus as they are fun and educational. This one was no different! I truly appreciate the way that different communication methods were presented in this story combined with the scientific side. Even though my kiddos are older than the target audience, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This would be a perfect addition for the classroom, daycare, or even at home!

This is a cute book, for young kids who love dinosaurs. Dinopotamus is a dinosaur who attends school with human children. Though he cannot talk, he finds ways to communicate with his teacher and classmates. When he realizes that his spot on the floor is warmer after he wakes up from naptime, he sets out to figure out why it’s happening and how to help his classmates to have a warmer spot for their naps. First he tries trading spots, but finds that to be unhelpful. Then he figures out how to help them all. The illustrations are cute, and look to be hand drawn, and the story is easy for children to understand while teaching children a little bit about science and sharing.

I enjoyed this book. It is part of a series about Dinopotamus and how he interacts with his friends. I love how this series shows inclusion of Dinopotamus who is different than the others. The children are not scared of Dinopotamus and they learn from him and make sure he is included in all of the activities. I recommend this book and series for children who love to read.

This was a cute experiment book for kids. The draws resonated towards my kids when I read this because it was in a style that they would be drawing right now, they were super excited that they even draw some pictures of there to go with the book after. The illustrations did go very well this book, and really made the story more vivid to what was going on. This follows a dinosaur that wonders why the ground around him gets warm, the examples and experiments that they go thou were very interesting to read about and how the figure out why the grounds hot. Great kids’ book, I like books that my kids can make up their own ideas on what’s going on and their ideas to figure something out.

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery (Dinopotamus Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is another amazing installment by Lois Wickstrom. I love all of her books. My 6 year old nephew and I read this together and we both loved it. Its about Dinopotamus discovering that when he gets up from where he has been sitting its warm so he leaves it for the other children to take a nap. So the whole class sets out to discover where the warm spots are. Trying to fit in is hard but with this one thoughtful thing Dinopotamus makes friends with the whole class. These books are so cute and sweet and always have a real life lesson in them. They make wonderful gifts for families or teachers too. My nephew and I are super fans of this author!

It’s nap time at school and Dinopotamus hears the other students talking about how the floor is warm where Dinopotamus is napping. Why is the floor always warm where he lays and not where the other kids lay? This is the mystery Dinopotamus wants to solve. Another cute children’s book!

Dinopotamus is with his friends at school again and it’s naptime. The kids are all lying on the floor and it’s a bit cold where they are. However, where Dinopotamus is, the floor is nice and warm. No one can figure it out until Dinopotamus uses his scientific reasonings of deduction to come to the proper answer.

This is a cute story that kids will love. It has scientific elements in it taught by a dinosaur! There was one section where I felt like it was repetitive but maybe it was felt that it was needed there. A very enjoyable story and another winning read by Lois Wickstrom!

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is a cute book but we wish it had better illustrations. I think it is a good effort for the author, who likely drew the images herself. The story is good and I like the diversity of the children. While it is a cute story, my 8 year old pointed out a animal who puts off heat likely wouldn’t have heat vision. But I soon reminded him a Dinopotamus is not a real animal so anything is possible. I love how thoughtful Dinopotamus is and how well the school children and teacher accepted him into their class. We have read other books in the series and they are all adorable.

Cute read about helping others. Everything about the Dinopotamus series is amazing the easy to comprehend stories for all ages and how they always involve so many life lessons in them. This one was no different Lois Wickstrom shows not only how to help others, Dinopotamus making a warm nap spot for the children but also alternate forms of communication. Just because someone or something can’t talk doesn’t mean they can’t communicate with you in other ways if you just pay attention. My younger son was nonverbal until he was three, currently seven and he loved this book, and remembers using sign language to communicate in other ways.

Fun story for nap time, with a twist of science. I love the discovery Dinopotamus makes as he helps the children to keep warm at nap time. I think your children will love this story as much as mine did. The pictures are nicely done and the story is easy to follow. The author shows her love for our children with the stories she writes. She is so creative and her open-ended stories are always fun to read. Where is your warm spot for nap time?

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is the second book in the Dinopotamus series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an interesting children’s storybook, with cute (naïve style) illustrations that accompany the story.
In this instalment, Dinopotamus investigates why the floor where he slept yesterday was so lovely and warm, so why isn’t it warm today?
The story also imparts lessons in problem solving, friendship, kindness, and consideration.
This is a very quick and easy read, and my 3 year-old grandson enjoyed the story.
The Series Consist of:
-Dinopotamus Goes to School (Book #1)
-Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery (Book #2)
-Opposite Day For Dinopotamus (Book #3)
Happy reading.

In this story Dinopotamus is taking a nap. When he gets up, the children in the classroom notice that his nap spot was super warm and cozy so the next day they want to nap there. But it’s not warm and cozy anymore. Dinopotamus uses his heat vision to help solve the mystery of finding a warm nap spot for the kids in class. This story was very cute and with hand drawn illustrations this makes it very cute and accessible to younger kids as well!

Lois Wickstrom really knows what she’s doing by now when it comes to children’s books and them being educational in a child friendly, easy to understand way. Dinopotamus was super friendly, caring, and just wanted the best for his friends during nap time when everyone began to wonder why dinopotamus’ spot was so warm and how they could find the warmest spots to nap in. They had to look no further. I really enjoyed the hand drawn illustrations. They made the story seem more personal and child friendly.

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is a cute story that young children will enjoy. Dinopotamus discovers the mystery of the warmth and naptimes much to the delight of the children in his class.
He so desperately wants to fit in with his new friends and they help him to feel included. He is an interesting character that is sweet and caring and is a good role model for children to embody.
This interesting tale has illustrations that are childlike but do express the concept of this simple tale. The message in this tale is kindness and friendships lessons worthy of learning.
It is a very quick and easy read.

Dinopotamus is back with a mystery to solve!! Going to school is one of Dinopotamus’ favorite things and discovering a mystery while napping. The children would love a warm spot to nap along with Dinopotamus, but there is something unique that Dinopotamus can do….what is it you say….definitely read and find out.

This is a fun, engaging children’s story that can for ages 4-8 and can also be enjoyed by the young at heart reading to the little ones. The illustrations are engaging and go right along with the story. Looking forward to more Dinopotamus!
