My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lulu, Zanie and Soara are best friends that do everything together – except recess! When it’s time for recess, Soara takes to the skies! She plays in the clouds and she twirls and bounces through the skies. No one else except for her best friends can see Soara when she flies at recess, and she always comes back in time for class…except for the day she follows the butterflies to the meadow. When she hears the recess bell ring, she flies high to see how to return to school, but there are so many schools and kids out for recess. When she spots her friends as they return to class, she knows she has found her way. Beautiful illustrations and a cute, quick, imaginative story for little minds.

Flying at Recess was another kids book written by Lois Wickstrom. I love how her books helps kids have imaginations. The pictures are illustrated beautifully. The book is full of colors. The details in the story is good. I would say this book is great for 7-9 year olds to read alone.

Soara and her friends Lulu and Zanie do everything together, except Soara has the ability to fly. Her friends support her on her adventures, but when recess is over and they become worried Soara needs to hurry to get back to her friends and school.

A great book for using your imagination. The illustrations are beautiful in this story and Soara is a wonderful character.

Another wonderful story by an incredible author! I make a point to seek out this author’s books because my kids love them so much. I may be (a little) older than the targeted audience, but I’m a child at heart, so I end up having a blast too. Soara loves to fly around high in the clouds and spend time with the butterflies. Can you get lost when you’re flying? Find out with Soara and her friends. We played an imaginative ‘what if’ game after reading this and explored our own flying world at home. We loved the illustrations as they really add more depth to the story and kept both of my kids’ attention. Share this fun adventure with the young ones in your life at home, at school, or at daycare!

Beautiful illustrations, unique names and fun story. Soara is special, she walks with her friends all the time but at recess something special happens and she flies. Though she is flying she still plays with her friends Lulu and Zanie making it seem like they have magic. Easy to read and unique story. The only rule is to make sure you’re back at school when recess ends.

The story is about a little girl named Soara and her three friends, Lulu and Zanie. These three friends are inseparable except at recess. At recess Soara can fly, but only at recess. While she is having fun flying, her friends become sad because they are playing alone. This one-day Soara is running late but finally makes it back, but she was late. This was a weird story. You don’t understand why she can fly in the first place and it just ends with her back in school and late. I just am not sure what the purpose of this book was but I am sure a child would think it was cool she could fly.

Thought the book was well written and loved by a 5 year old. The book is about 3 friends….. Soara, Lulu and Zanie. Soara can only fly during recess but her friends miss playing with her at recess. Like playing ball her and swinging on the swings. When she hears the bell ring she knows she must get back in time before it’s too late.

Flying at recess is such a cute book. Soara and her friends Lulu and Zanie do everything together. Except at recess, Soara goes up to the sky. She flys with butterflies, touches the puffy clouds.

This was a cute little story about a little girl who can fly. It was a good little story about friendship and acceptance of others. I think that children who have great imagination will enjoy this story. I have read other stories by this author and highly recommend them to parents who have kids that love to read

In Flying at Recess we meet Soara, Zanie and Lulu. 3 friends who do everything together but recess. At recess Soara flys into the clouds and with the butterflies to a meadow to drink the nectar as the butterflies are. This is such a cute little book to read to little ones. The colorful illustrations are great. A fun, quick read before bedtime or naptime for children

This book can relate to how children can use their imagination during recess. The illustrations are very colorful and can capture the reader’s attention. The story is very easy to comprehend, and shows how children can do the normal things during the day.

Flying at Recess by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and my 6 year old nephew and I have enjoyed all her books. This one is no different. The books are always fun and have great pictures. This is the story of Soara a little girl who flies at recess where she can hang with the butterflies and fly over the trees. The only rule to flying at recess is you have to be back before the bell rings. One day Soara gets caught up looking at a butterfly and gets off track. Will she be able to find her way back to school on time? Full of imagination and fun for your elementary age child they will love to read about Flying at Recess. Add this wonderful book to the child in your life’s library!

Another adorable book from Lois Wickstrom. I have read so many books by her with my son. We always thoroughly enjoy them. This one is about a little girl who disappears and flies at recess time. Her best friends know shes is there, though they can’t see her. One day, she flies farther than usual. Will she make it back before recess ends? Read to find out!
I have to add, I love the reaction of the teacher. If you have kids, I highly recommend picking up a book or two, or 7 from Lois Wickstrom.

Flying at Recess is a fantasy children’s book by Lois Wickstrom. Soara is a young lady who likes to fly. We get to go along with Soara as she flies high over the trees and hangs with the butterflies. The only rule is that Sora can only fly at recess. This book is sweet and easy to follow. It shows how you can do anything if you use your imagination. It also shows the benefit of boundaries, so you don’t miss out on important things like school and time with your friends. The book will allow children to use their imaginations like Soara. The illustrations are bright and beautiful.

What another lovely and heartwarming story by an amazing author. As with all of her books, we were hooked in this one straight away. My kids both loved the idea of being able to fly around while on a school break. It was such an exciting prospect to them, they spent the next 10 minutes trying to fly! My daughter in particular was really taken with the idea of flying with butterflies!
This is another fun, engaging and well-illustrated story by an author that is a favourite in our house.

Flying At Recess by Lois Wickstrom was a great children’s book with a magical feel. I will admit this book is different than what I am used to by this author but it is a good addition to my 7 year old’s library. My daughter loves butterflies, especially since my mother passed away so flying with butterflies was special to us. I personally loved the illustrations as well.

Children’s books are fun and great for our little ones. Soara, Lulu and Zanie are best friends. They spend their recesses together until Soara flies off on another adventure. Only rule is she must be back before recess ends. But when she spots butterflies, she gets side tracked. Can she find her way back to school? Will she get there before recess ends? Once again this author pulled out another fun story for our children’s enjoyment. The story was fun and opened up conversation and imaginations. Keeping our parents engaged in conversation with our little ones. Just one more grand story for us to have in our children’s library.

2.5 – 3 Stars

 

Flying At Recess by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s fantasy story with a ‘flying adventure’, friendship, school recess fun, and interesting & colourful illustrations.
The illustrations are really cute and beautifully colourful – bringing the story to life. They really held my grandchildren’s attention.
We follow Soara as she takes to the skies during recess at school. Her friends Lulu and Zanie get a bit worried when she hasn’t returned by the time they need to be back in class. Will Soara make it back safely?
The story was cute, even if it doesn’t make much sense to me – as no ‘reason’ was given for Soara’s ability to fly. Was she daydreaming? Or does she have ‘magical/superpowers’? And if she does have ‘powers’ why not take her friends along for the fun? Why leave them behind? I just felt like the story was ‘unresolved’- but my 3-year-old grandson and granddaughter seemed to like it nonetheless.
Happy reading…

Flying at Recess is a story as we follow Soara along with her friends Zanie and Lulu as they have fun activities during their recess break at school. Soara not only gets to enjoy having fun with her friends but she also gets to fly!! What fun.

This story is very engaging, colorful illustrations that bring the story to life and fun to read. For ages 4+8 years or even the young at heart can enjoy this story as they read to the little ones!

Cute book. The artwork and colors are beautiful and eye catching. This book is so fun in that Soara can fly, but only at recess. Her friends love that about her but miss playing with her during recess. But, Soara gets to see and experience so many things whilst flying.

Soara lives up to her name, and goes Flying at Recess. She enjoys many activities with her two best friends, but flying, that she does with the butterflies. She goes high in the sky and into far away fields. She is having so much fun she looses track of time, and has to rush to make it back before recess ends. Like many of this author’s books, it is filled with colorful illustrations. The main character has a wonderful imagination and the sky is her limit. My son (8) always enjoys these books, but often says they “don’t make sense” so perhaps geared toward younger audience with endless imaginations.

This story about Soara, Zanie, and Lulu has some very vibrant illustrations throughout. This is my favorite part of this book.

Soara is a bit unique. She can fly into the sky when she drinks flower nectar. It’s cool and all but her friends Zanie and Lulu really miss playing with her at recess. The bell rings and Soara is nowhere to be seen. Can she make it back to her seat before the teacher realizes she’s gone?

This wasn’t my favorite read by this author, who is a favorite of mine. It was a fun book but just seemed to lack the educational component that I’ve come to love with this author.

Flying at Recess is a magical fantasy children’s picture book where our main character Soara can fly. Lucky girl. Imagine having the ability to fly. I think everyone has thought about flying anywhere you want to go.
This whimsical tale will take the young children on an adventure soaring through the sky. All they have to do is close their eyes too to see it to.
I love the beautiful illustrations by the talented Ada Konewki. They capture the magic of Soara’s adventure and her enthusiasm to fly is enticing but the pictures invite children to use their imagination.
There is always something to learn in Lois’s stories and this one is no different.
