What happens when you scrape your knee? Find out in this story! I read this with my 7 year old son. I love how things are explained in a way that makes sense to kids. My son is homeschooled and this year for science we were working on the human body. This was a great addition to what we have been learning. It’s not only a fun story, but very informative. That is usually how Lois Wickstrom’s books go. You have fun, but you also learn. (And it’s not boring!)

Not So Little Things Audio Book by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An enticing listen for sure. So many emotions and such understandable perspectives, any reader can find a relatable character in this story. The narrator was clear and articulate, and I would encourage anybody with a love for emotion and romance to listen to this book.

4.5 Stars

 

The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn is such a fun children’s story book with bright, colourful, and interesting pictures that drive the whole story. What is a Booper Snoot, you might wonder… Well, it is the ‘nose’ of a cute animal that you can’t help but want to gently tap your finger on. But here, Suzanna Lynn takes things several steps further, by making it an animal adventure- from A to Z… starting with Alpacas and ending with Zebra’s, there are a plethora of other animals ‘snoots’ to absorb our attention. From the well-known to the unusual, these alphabetical animals come with interesting facts that help educate us about all the different animals who ‘star’ in this book. So not only is it a fun book to read, but there is also an educational component too…. Now that’s what I call a win-win situation.
What a fun, engaging, and cute little book this is. My grandson loved reading this with me and pointing out all the different animals he recognised, while finding a few new ones to add to his ‘favourites’ list.
Looking forward to seeing what Suzanna Lynn does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Suzanna Lynn!

Shows that children are accepting of everyone and will help their friends learn new things and will always find a way to include those around them. The child-like illustrations are cute and a great addition to this story. Again Lois Wickstrom does a wonderful job telling a story that children will enjoy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dinopotamus Goes to School is a cute picture book for young readers. It is geared toward 4 to 8 year olds, and my 8 year old enjoyed reading it with me. Dino has been watching the kids play at school, and wants to participate, but he is worried he doesn’t fit in. He doesn’t look like the kids, or fit in their school, but he has fun playing and learning with them. It is a good story to teach inclusion and accepting others, even when they look different. The illustrations are fun and unique- looking like they are colored with crayon or pencil. Would be good in preschool or young elementary classrooms.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loris is a foster child who is not sure who to trust, and prefers to stay to himself. When he comes to live with Cam, Inaya, and their mother, he struggles to adjust to a home life that is so different from the bad home life he is used to. Cam and Inaya try to involve Loris in the fundraiser run that they are organizing for a friend, but he doesn’t feel safe joining in until Cam is being bullied, and then he stands up for his new foster siblings. This book may not have the “warm fuzzies” from the beginning, but by the end, you will find yourself feeling for Loris and his journey. This is a great book for young kids, and for teaching children about foster children situations and the emotions that can come from it. I feel like this is also a good way to help people of any age to remember that you don’t know the full story of someone’s life, so being kind and being there for them, and not leaving them in their time of struggle, is often the most help you can give them.

This is one of the cutest alphabet books I’ve seen. Not only are we met with the most adorable boopable snoots (that you most definitely can boop on each page), we are given a plethora of information about each animal. I loved the colorfulness of the book along with the realness of it. Lynn packed in so much information for each animal but don’t let that overwhelm you. You could easily skip over that information for younger readers/listeners while the older readers/listeners can definitely learn from the amount of information she includes. This is a must have for animal lovers.

Consider me to be a big Booper Snooter. I have my whole life as I grew up on a farm and have own many animals, lizards, fish, turtles, Kangaroos, Wallabies, birds and much more.
So, when I saw Suzanna Lynn’s The Big Book of Booper Snoots and realised what it was all about I had to grab it and read it to my grandboys which they thoroughly enjoyed.
This delightful children’s picture book is educational, full of fun facts and is informative and imaginative. The wonderful illustrations are creative and bright and colourful. Little animal enthusiasts will love this adventure book.

I loved this book, my favorite part has to be the art. I love that it looks like someone drew and colored the book, such a fun concept. Dinopotamus is so cute and sweet, he wants to be like the other children, he wants to be involved. I appreciate the teacher including Dino in the lesson and even reassuring him that he did have 3 toes instead of 5 like the others and that is okay. All around a cute book.

I don’t think I’ve chuckled so much. You hear this term on some animal videos on social media. I love how the author uses it for an A-B-C of animals book. Terrific choice of animals. The descriptions are of unique characteristics. There is usually a weird fact. This is neat because even as an older person, I’m learning new facts reading this. Wonderful pictures. You even get to learn what it’s called when there is a group of the animals together. Check this book out. Another fun and educational one from this author that I’ll be adding to our family library. It’ll be a cool resource for projects that may come up.

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.

 

Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.

 

Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.

 

In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.

 

That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.

 

When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!

Okay first off I love the facts and tidbits the author puts on the pages. Most of them I never knew but now I do lmao so I’d say this book is good for all ages. I read this with my little one tonight, so hopefully after seeing this he’ll leave his bandages alone after a boo boo. This book was a great read, super fun and informative (which is awesome) about the bodies healing process after an accident, in a cool graphic way but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented author Lois Wickstrom. I look forward to seeing more work from this author 🥰🥰

Dinopotamus Goes to School is a fun and cute story that is for ages 4-8; but can also be enjoyed by anyone young at heart also reading to the littles during storytime. The story overall is engaging and fun while also having the colorful illustrations that go along with each page.

All Dinopotamus wants to do is be like all the children around them….playing and going to school!! Learning lessons is fun…..but learning everyone may be different in some ways….even Dinopotamus… it is ok!

This is a cute story…and very enjoyable.

This is one of the most beautiful reads in the recent times. The story is centered around the emotions felt by a boy in a foster care, Loris. When he finally finds his forever home, Loris is reluctant and unwilling to run a charity cause. When they dig deeper, there are plethora of emotions, anger, fear of being left alone,fear and frustration. It is a very emotional read which tugs at your heart. I am going to reread this book again with my whole family.

Super cute children’s book. Not only does this story encourage going on school, it also teaches children about differences. While the dinosaur is very different he is still the same. This story also encourages counting and playing together. Once again this author has given children another cute story with teaching hidden within. A must have for your child’s library.

I have read a few of these authors’ books to my niece and she loves them. This book teaches you what happens when you get a boo boo. . My niece loves that the pictures for the story go so well with each other. She also loves that it makes learning fun.

A little boy loves to play with his toy soldiers. He trips on one of his pieces and he skins his knee. He goes to mom and she puts a bandage on his knee and tells him not to touch it. Then the story goes into how your body is healing his knee. Will he leave his bandage alone or will he not listen to his mom?

Not So Little Things Audio Book by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Shelly Kittell

5/5 stars

This was a wonderful story. It’s so beautifully complicated. I could relate so well to it. After my stepfather passed, I found out things weren’t what I thought they were. That really hurt, I thought he was my world. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. It’s amazing how much we can relate. I found the characters to be unique and entertaining. Their personalities really showed through. Every personality had so much to work with and on. I really ended up having to listen to this story in virtually one sitting because I was totally drawn it. I found the narration to be good. It’s a story worth using that credit on.

 

Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Rita White

What a great informative book. I feel like I just had a science lesson! I loved the rhyming of the story and the little facts also on the page. My 4 year old granddaughter loved me reading her this book. She was more interested in the story and not so much in the facts. The facts will be used and read better by the older children. The illustrations are fabulous and depict the story great.

Another cute story from this author, I always enjoy getting to check out her books. This is a great book to teach young children not only about counting or other educational skills, but that it’s ok to be different. The children in the book recognize the Dinopotamus wants to learn, but he is a bit different from them. Children will get to see how they embrace the differences between themselves and Dino. I enjoyed the art work as well, it was very cute and young children will definitely enjoy it as well. Definitely a great book to enjoy with young children.

What a touching story!
Loris has been in the foster system after a really terrible home life. He has trust issues and refuses to open up to anyone.
He moves to a home with a new family that includes Cam, Inaya, and their foster mom. He initially refuses to open up whatsoever as he doesn’t trust anyone.
His heart however slowly opens the more time he spends with this family and the story illustrates the beauty and bravery of opening up your heart even when it’s scary.

Information on the science of the human body is told in a way to help younger minds understand. Lois Wickstrom astonishes me once again in the way she gives information to young minds. Her creative easy to understand comparisons of how a wound is healed related to war and rebuilding is wonderful. With the extra big words in boxes along the way this book helps have informative moments with your little one in a fun educational way.

Dinopotamus just wants to fit in with the kids and go to school and learn. He follows them to school one day and participates in the class learning sessions. Some things he has to do a little differently because he is different, but he learns new things and looks forward to going to school again tomorrow.

This book subtly focuses on celebrating differences in people. Dinopotamus isn’t able to do things in the same way the school children do but he adapts and finds a way to still participate. The illustrations show a child in a wheelchair, who also has to learn to adapt.

This is a great way to teach children that sometimes learning in different ways is necessary and that it’s also ok! I love how the illustrations look very child-like in terms of the drawings and the crayon colorings.

Another win for this author in my book!

Meal Time at the Zoo: PB&J Cafe’ is a fun kids book by James Williamson. We follow James the monkey butler at the zoo, as he delivers an array of peanut butter sandwiches to the zoo’s residents. Who knew there were so many ways to have a peanut butter sandwich? This book helps children to see the variety in life. All the characters enjoy variations of peanut butter sandwiches with various characters. It is fun to see the types of sandwiches different animals would probably have. This is a fun and original story that small children will enjoy.
