What an informative story. From reading the title we learn this is based on a true story. Very adorable illustrations of the cats and their humans. Learning about emergency kits and evacuations. All very informative and helpful for young kids and for pet owners alike. End of the book even gives you a list of all things that should be kept in an emergency kit.
Opposite Day for Dinopotamus by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My family loves it when I bring home books by this author! We always have such a fun time and great discussions. Opposite Day is exactly what it sounds like. The teacher wants everyone to try to do the opposite of what she says. But she doesn’t make it easy for them. This was a fun read that made both of my kiddos giggle as they acted everything out along with the story. It also prompted us to try and create our own Opposite game with more difficult instructions. Pick this up and share with the little ones in your life at home, at school, or at daycare.

Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane is a wonderful book and the great nieces and great nephew and I all enjoyed. All of the Oscar and Emmy books are great and learning to prepare in bad weather is vital. This story is educational, meaningful and full of engaging illustrations.
Charlie and Abby are helping their parents prepare of a hurricane…the best solution is emergency kit boxes!! Preparing every item that may be needed during the hurricane also includes Oscar and Emmy, their cats.
This is a great story for any age and learning to be ready if bad weather may come about….also I think it is fantastic to not forget the animals as well they are family too!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Once again Lois Wickstrom shows her incredible talent not just in writing the story but in her fun illustrations. This series gives kids a confidence boost seeing hand drawn pictures and understanding they can do it too. Opposite day is always a fun day, but this book took it to the max or would it be the minimum? Hmmm. Every little thing was given in the opposite way, and I love how it showed that misunderstandings can happen to anyone, but Dinopotamus always has a friend to cheer him up. Easy to read for my seven-year-old and the inspiration he had on trying to say the opposite of everything he meant for the rest of the night.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We had barely finished the last book by this author when we picked up this one straight away. As we have already come to expect, this book was fun, educational and such a pleasure to read. My kids had never heard of Sandpipers before so it was a great way for them to not only learn about them, but to reinforce the learning of numbers.
Every time we read one of these books, my son in particular will spend days counting everything we come across. It is great to see him take so much away with these books and we will definitely be reading more!

Having read another book in this series, my son was desperate to read another book by this author. Ten Little Sea Turtles is the next one we happened to pick up and I can easily say he enjoyed it just as much as the other one.
These books, although educational, are so much fun to read. The illustrations are vivid and engaging and we definitely got as much joy in them as the actual story. This book has been read multiple times already and I am sure will be read many more.

Raccoon Reunion by Terri Sabol
This is a cute story about Rocky the Raccoon and his adventures at his family reunion. At first, he’s apprehensive to go because he doesn’t know anyone there and everything happens so fast and he doesn’t know how to do some of the things. But he becomes an integral part of helping everyone out at the end and ends up making friends with his cousin Rascal. It’s a great story to teach your littles about trying new things even though they may be scared. I really loved the illustrations and thought that the life-lessons were great.

Raccoon Reunion by Terri Sabol is a cute children’s story with a bit of journey of discovery, problem solving, sharing, teamwork, cooperation, family, overcoming apprehension, and friendship. The fun story is accompanied by some wonderful, bright, and interesting illustrations which really help to bring everything to life.
Rocky the Raccoon and his family are invited to the family reunion being held at Grandma Rigby’s place out in the country. He doesn’t want to go. But he doesn’t really have a choice. When they arrive, there are so many family members there and so many names to remember. Rocky really doesn’t like the food, or the games that are played. He is having the worst time. But what happens when the family decides to go dumpster diving? And will Rocky finally have some fun?
As expected from Ms. Sabol, this is quite a delightful children’s adventure.
Happy Reading…

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus by Lois June Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author so I knew I had to read this cute book to my 6 year old nephew. He loved it. Its full of cute illustrations and always a a lesson is included. When Dinopotamus gets to school he learns its opposite day and the teacher tells them they will learn to tell the difference in opposites. They are given different shapes of letters and fonts that are so fun for the kids. This is probably best for kids ages 4-8 and would make a great gift for the child in your life.

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus is a children’s book by Lois Wickstrom. While Dinopotamus is at school, his teacher informs the class that it is Opposite Day. Whatever the teacher says, the class must do the opposite. This book is a fun way to teach children about opposites. Plenty of fun examples show children examples of doing the opposite of what is said. There are also plenty of fun illustrations to enjoy.

Raccoon Reunion captivates and entertains young minds and had my grandson’s full attention. I like that they learn from Terri’s stories opening them up to immeasurable possibilities.
This is a delightful picture book that tells the tale of one raccoon who is unsure of his outing and overcomes his fear of the unknown and the value of helping others. This cute story becomes even more dimensional with the beautiful illustrations by Pei Jen.
A great addition to a school library, library, or in the family home.

This is a brilliant story that teaches kids about opposites. This is something my daughter has struggled to understand a little bit, so reading this book was a fun and entertaining way to reinforce what she had already been learning. She found the book to be engaging and I could see she really connected with it.
This author knows how to create stories that draw you in and provide a fun way to educate children. This book was an enjoyable story that we all loved to read.

Just another great teaching story, with fun to be had by all. Dinopotamus and his friends are learning about opposite word meanings. Some are easy, but then some can be harder to understand. I love that this author did not use only easy examples. Leaving a thought process for the child and the characters in the story. Opening up more conversations between the reader and the students. In my opinion there is another better than a book that leaves room for more learning. After the story has finished. This is another book that belongs in every child’s library. I hope you enjoy the story as much as we did.

Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In the book, twins Abby and Charlie,help their mom and dad get ready for the hurricane. They also make sure their cats, Oscar and Emmy, are safe and well taken care of in the event of a major disaster. This book is well written and great illustrations. The facts in the back about Hurricane Harvey is a nice touch. The checklist that’s provided for things to have ready in case of an emergency for pets is great. That can be utilized for any number of emergency situations.
A quick read for little ones who may get anxious when it comes to storms to help calm their fears. Definitely a great teaching tool for little ones.

A lovely story that reminds me a little of country moune and city mouse.It’s a really cute story that will take you back to your memories of family reunions. Mine were always nuts. The story has bright and colorful illustrations that are sure to grab a child’s attention. The story is entertaining and family friendly. My grandson and I laughed and chuckled through it. He asked questions which brought up memories of family that had passed. It’s a lovely book that we’ll be adding to our library. I still have 4 more grandchildren to share it with. This is my favorite childrens book this year.

Terri Sabol is an accomplished children’s book author, renowned for her heartwarming and entertaining stories featuring the real-life adventures of her two beloved rescue kittens, Oscar and Emmy. Born and raised in Texas, Terri developed a love of writing and storytelling at a young age, and always dreamed of one day becoming an author. Thinking that was out of reach, she focused on her other dream… teaching.
After graduating from college with a Masters degree in education, Terri worked as an early childhood teacher, and it was during this time that her passion for picture books truly blossomed. She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.
Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.
Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.
In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.
When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.
