My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stop that Lion is such a cute book! I know that anything by lois Wickstrom my kids are going to love and I’m going to enjoy reading it to them, but this one really was adorable. Very unique; it tells the story of two kingdoms who have a lion problem, as in a lion that eats the sheep of the neighboring kingdom! The problem is then solved by a young girl. Very simple and fun for kids, definitely recommend.

Woman Unbroken by Alexandra Fleder

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Woman Unbroken: A Novel by Alexandra Fleder was such a good read! It was my first time reading anything by this author and would definitely do so again.
This book follows the story of Devorah, who had what seemed like an envious upbringing on the surface; however, recent tragic events causes her to reevaluate much of her life. I love that the main character is allowed to “wallow” in some borderline depression filled days. The story did not bog down, it wasn’t depressing to read, but it was incredibly realistic to see a character that had gone through so much be allowed to have a real world response. Being able to hide away, forget the world and just rest and recoup as much as possible. In the end, Devorah does find her will again and the rest of the story follows her path and she grows stronger and into her own person. A happy ever after that isn’t dependent on someone else!

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Heather Stanley

The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science, #3)The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very charming story. It also had an educational aspect to it! I love when stories I read are both educational but also cute. It makes me want to recommend them to others. It also keeps the children engaged in the story. I loved that it was short enough to keep kids’ attention but also a story people would not mind reading again! The illustrations were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to those who have kids and are looking for a new educational, inspiring story.
