5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Eee-ahh and Shirl are back with a Rocketship Made of Stars. This book is fun, imaginative, educational and the illustrations were colorful and engaging. I really enjoyed this book and although this is for ages 4-8, I believe this story can be enjoyed by the young and the young at heart like me.

Eee-ahh is back on earth and is so happy that she goes to school with Shirl one day so she may hear stories. Eee-ahh meets new friends along the way and also learns all about stars and constellations. Shirl and her friends learn about where Eee-ahh and her stars.

This is a cute, fun story. Loving the learning aspect with all sorts of constellations and what each of them mean.

In this installment of Eee-ahh and Shirl’s adventures, Eee-agh follows Shirl to school to hear stories. They have a good time and learn about Eee-aah’s home and constellations. Constellations have many different names. As always it’s a fun, informative book with great illustrations.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a cute book. It’s got a lot of information in it, too. While the pictures are engaging, the reader is also learning about constellations, and space. As well as a lesson in accepting new people and understanding worlds others come from. I would say this book would be good for ages 5 and up. But younger kids would probably enjoy the story, too.

3.5 Stars

 

Rocketship Made of Stars is the second book in the ‘I Am An Alien” series by Lois Wickstrom. It is another fun children’s fantasy story where we join Shirl and her alien friend Eeh-Ahh as they talk, and learn about, constellations. The story is fun and imaginative, whist teaching children about constellations and the stars- there is also themes of friendship, acceptance, being different, and fitting in. There are several pictures with the names of constellations in the back of the book.
Get set for a fun, quirky, and engaging read.
Happy reading…

Wickstrom has done it again! She has taken a unique twist to teaching kids about constellations using Shirl and Eee-ahh’s friendship and adventures. I love how she always integrates cool stories with scientific based facts into her books. She also throughs in acceptance and tolerance as well. At the end of the book, she has great information about constellations as well. I highly recommend this book for your star and space loving littles!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although I liked this book lesser than some of the other scientifically based Lois Wickstrom’s books, it is still worth reading. An alien comes to Earth and tells stories his culture tells of the sky, which leads into learning about constellations, complete with diagrams of real constellations in the back. I did enjoy how the story has the characters taking turns telling their version, and the fact the teacher doesn’t question why an alien is in her classroom shows great inclusivity! As with all the books in this series and Lois Wickstrom’s other books, colorful, engaging illustrations accompany the text.

Rocket Ship Made of Stars is a fun story by Lois Wickstrom. It is an educational look at constellations for children aged 4 to 8 years. We first met Shirl and her new friend Eeh-ahh in the book I Am An Outer Space Alien (I am an Alien).
Impressionable little minds open up to any and all possibilities of other life forms and whole new worlds beyond the stars. Lois helps with shaping and the development of young ones as they once again go on alien adventures.
The story of Eeh-ahh the Alien and her world is brought to lie with vivid, colourful and bright illustrations by Nicolas Milano.
Who doesn’t love a good story with Aliens, Rocket ships, stars and much more?
There are many more adventure stories just waiting for you to explore from Lois.

A cute kids book about constellations! I enjoyed reading it with my kids, they are a bit older and are good readers. We had a good discussion about constellations after we finished reading. I enjoyed reading about Shirl and her alien friend Eee-ahh going to school. The kids and the teacher are inquisitive and everyone seemed to learn a great deal about constellations and seeing them from different points of view. I think younger kids that are interested in stars would really enjoy this story.

The main character brings an alien to school with her. There are no security hoops to jump through in order for this to happen. The main character has classmates who are kind to their class visitor. The teacher and the children discuss constellations. Different cultures have different names and stories for the same constellations.

Children will love reading this book, especially if they are interested in the patterns amid the stars!! I loved this book and I’m not a child!

Shirl takes Eee-ahh to school with her where they hear stories all day long. When the teacher asks Eee-ahh where she is from, Eee-ahh proceeds to draw a series of stars and then connects them. The class learns all about constellations and the different names for them.

This is beautifully illustrated and is recommended for all ages, but especially those in the 4-9 year old age group.

Rocketships made of Stars is another amazing kids book written by Lois Wickstrom. I read this story to my daughter and she absolutely loved it. I feel like the book was a little bit of educational teaching the kids about stars. The illustration was done beautifully. I would recommend this book to kids no older then 9 years old.

Shirl takes her alien friend Eee-ahh to school with her.

The kids figure out that Eee-ahh is an alien, because she is green and has an antenna. The teacher asks Eee-ahh where she is from. Eee-ahh draws a map of the stars — She circles a constellation that looks like a rocket ship. The sky looks the same, but Eee-ahh gives all the constellations different names.

Will the teacher like the new names?

Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.

She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.

Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.

This is another wonderful book by the very creative Lois Wickstrom. I have read and loved several of her children’s books and this one is no exception. What would you do if you felt like you didn’t fit in and were from another planet? Well, you would try to communicate and find other aliens like yourself. This is exactly what Shirley aka Shirl does in this cute quick read. The underlying lesson isn’t spelled out in this story as much as it is in most of her books, but it still has plenty of ways to start a discussion about fitting in and wanting to find others like yourself. The artist Nicolàs Milano has also done a splendid job of making colorful, engaging illustrations that help you visualize the story. Ms. Wickstrom continues to be a go to read for my family and myself.

Shirl shortened because she did not like the letter Y. Feels she is an alien. While other children like to play outside, she liked being inside playing on her radio. In doing so she invited an Alien to visit her, in hopes she belonged to Shirl planet. This story is so cute and fun to read. The children learn how to become better listeners and to accept change. The author continues to impress me with her children’s books. They are fun and interactive. While always having a lesson to be learned in a fun manner. The pictures are brightly colored and will keep your little ones interested. I am looking forward to seeing where this Alien book will go next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shirl is different from the other kids her age. This is the reason why she thinks she is not an Earthling but an alien instead. She wants to find out what planet she is actually from so she can have like minded friends.

When she radios an alien with an invitation, she is beyond excited when the alien accepts. The alien lands and Shirl notices first that the alien looks different from her so therefore cannot be from her home planet but this doesn’t stop her from befriending the alien.

This book was cute. Shirl seems like a quiet type who typically do not have many friends. She thinks she is too different from the others but when she realizes that her alien friend is different but they can still be friends, maybe she isn’t too different from Earthlings afterall.

I honestly wish this author was around when I was a child. All of their books are well written with many life lessons hidden in the excitement.

I recommend this book to parents of young children as it might help them feel they are not alone in feeling like they are different.

I Am An Outer Space Alien by Lois Wickstrom is about how Shirley doesn’t believe she is from this planet and how she is different from others. We normally love all books by this author but this one missed the mark with my little. Granted, it seems as though my daughter was too young (she’s three) but we love all their other books with a twist. The illustrations were nice and seemed to catch the attention of my girl. Overall, the story was okay, seemed to be about not fitting in or feeling like you don’t. I didn’t quitel get it though but maybe my imagination was off today. The story is quick and you can definitely “find” a lesson to it. But it wasn’t a favorite of mine. My girl was like what’s an alien? Haha it made for a fun discussion but she wasn’t a true fan of the book.

This may be one of my absolute favorites from this author so far! Both my kiddos loved it, and I enjoyed it as well! Shirley (Shirl) is sure that Earth isn’t her home planet, but she really loves it when Eee-ahh comes to visit and play. I feel that this author ties in life lessons into her stories so well that you don’t fully realize it until after you’ve put the book down! This book started a conversation with my kids, and I loved every moment of it. I highly recommend this book for the little ones in your life!

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

I Am An Outer Space Alien is a quick, short story that encourages children to explore the world around them and venture outside of the box. Two people don’t have to like the same things or be exactly the same to be friends. I think this book is a perfect example of how children in today’s society may feel out of place if they are not 100% like their peers. The illustrations within this book are bright, cheery, and eye-catching. I definitely feel this book is appropriate for children ages 4-8.

Another fun yet informative book for kids by this author. Represented by an alien visitor, this time the author teaches the importance of listening and embracing those who are different without fear/judgement. An important lesson for everyone.

The author has again managed to create an entertaining book for young children to learn from without even realising it. I have never been disappointed in the lessons included in the authors books and the kids I care for enjoy the stories.

This was a really fun and cute little book to read. my kids have been enjoying these books. this one was based on friendship, inclusion, individuality, and accepting people who are different, something I have been teaching my kids that everyone is different and does things different too and we shouldn’t judge or criticize them. when a little girl feels like she doesn’t fit in, she thinks she someone or something that she is. And then meets an alien and becomes friends with. the pictures and illustrations in this book really went well with this story, and they were bright and amazingly drawn, and bright in color making it fun to read. this is a cute fun book to read with your kids.
