Baking a Bicycle is another edition of the Invisible Magic Wand Books. In this edition, Caspian, this year for his Unbirthday wants a bike. However, his Grandfather asks what is so unusual about a bike, it doesn’t fit the unbirthday theme. The next day Caspian’s gift is “Baking up Dust”. He starts baking with Grandpa and sees that the baking is creating bike shapes, but how to turn that into something he can ride? What magic with this unbirthday bring? I do like this Invisible Magic Wand series because it provides a great way for kids to use their imaginations. The fact that they are also always family-oriented makes it feel warm, fun, and full of imagination. I would recommend this series to anyone who knows younger kids who love to play with their imagination.

I love the Caspian unbirthday series. This book was so imaginative with baking a bicycle by molding the dough into parts and then of course it wouldn’t be a grandpa unbirthday present without a little magic. I love the art in this book, the vibrant colors and creativity.

It’s Caspian’s un-birthday again. This year he tells Grandpa that he’d like a bike. When Caspian opens his gift, it’s an envelope of Baking Up Dust. Whatever will he do with this and how is this going to create a bike that he so desperately desires?

Another cute read by a favorite author. The illustrations are also very well done, full of vibrant colors. This story will allow the reader to use their imagination to create this bike and celebrate another un-birthday in style!!

My son and I have read other Caspian books, and we always love them. He is 7 and I read this book to him, because he was a little overwhelmed with how many words were on each page. I thought this book was super creative and magical. Caspian and his grandpa celebrate is UnBirthday. This year he asked for a bicycle, but his UnBirthday gifts are never anything normal. I love that Caspian had to plan how to make his wish come true, and had to put in some hard work to make it happen. The illustrations are colorful and fun. Great story for young readers.

Another Lois Wickstrom picture book that doesn’t disappoint! Baking a Bicycle is a whimsical story that sparks the imagination. The use of wordplay creates a light and playful tone throughout the story. I enjoyed the unique premise of the story, which involves a boy who wants a bicycle and is confused when his family gives him something else.

The illustrations are commended for their bright and vivid colors, which complement the lighthearted nature of the text. I was impressed by the attention to detail in the illustrations, which added an extra layer of depth to the story.

The book is a fun and entertaining read that would appeal to both children and adults. The book has a valuable message about finding creative solutions to disappointment to find a joyous journey at the end.

Baking a Bicycle is the seventh wonderful tale in the Invisible Magic Wand series an original and imaginative tale for children between the ages of 6 to 8 years.
It is a delightful, and fun fantasy story. My grandsons were entertained and engaged and loved looking at the colourful illustrations.
It is another UnBirthday adventure for Capsian and his exciting gifts from his quirky Grandpa.
If you want to know what happens with the Baking Up Dust and Caspians wish for a bicycle, then you need to grab a copy and a snuggle buddy or two and journey along with the adventure.

Another good book from this author for kids. I really enjoy how this author brings learning to children and makes the stories fun and enjoyable. I really do wish my children were smaller and could enjoy these books by this author. I am sure when I finally do have grandchildren that they also will find joy in this author’s stories. The author is able to bring subjects to kids in a very creative way that helps develop their imaginations and influence learning. I really do highly recommend this author’s books and will definitely be reading more from her.

Baking a Bicycle is Book 7 in the Invisible Magic Wand books and it is a wonderful story that can be enjoyed by the young and young at heart. My great nieces and I loved what Caspian and his grandfather have in store yet again!

What can be better than asking for a bicycle on your unbirthday? Of course baking a bicycle instead as Caspian and grandfather mix up some ingredients…what will come about?

Fun and engaging story with wonderful illustrations. Highly recommended.

The Empty Box (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

/0 Comments/in /by

The Empty Box is the first book in the Invisible Magic Wand series by Lois Wickstrom. It is February 14th, which is Caspian’s Un-Birthday. Each year like clockwork, his grandpa gives him a silly present. Only this year, there is NOTHING in the box… Or at least that is what he thinks at first until his grandpa tells him about his present- an invisible wand that allows him to control time. The wand can be used to speed up time or to slow time down. Wickstrom creates a fascinating magical power for the wand which I would not mind using myself. I can just see children using their imaginations to try to use their own invisible wand. I know that I would have taken the idea of a time-controlling wand and let my imagination run wild when I was little. If you know a child or adult who loves magic and using their imagination, they would love this book!

To find out how Caspin will use his wand, read The Empty Box today!

This sweet story of an un-birthday tradition between a little boy and his beloved Grandpa teaches little ones the importance of savoring time (and cake!). The whimsical illustrations contribute to the illusion of using what was initially a disappointing un-birthday present (a seemingly empty box) to learning how to wield the power of his “magic wand” (or, his imagination).

Very sweet story!

February 14th has rolled around again and Caspian is just waking up, he is as excited as always to see what this years Unbirthday present from his Grandpa is, but when he opens the box and finds that it is empty, he is more than a little disappointed. When he goes down to breakfast, he is still a little sad, but when his Grandpa asks if he liked his Invisible Magic Wand, Caspian is confused, that is until his Grandpa explains how to use it.

When he has done this, Caspian’s Grandpa tells him that he can use it to either speed up, or slow down time, so what adventures will Caspian go on with his invisible Magic wand today and can it grant his wish to win a basketball game? This is another lovely addition to this series of whimsical books, where magic is real and anything is possible on an Unbirthday!

This cute children’s picture story book is the first in the Invisible Magic Wand series. We meet Caspian on his unbirthday as his grandpa gives him his ‘silly’ present. This year is different. What follows is a fun, magical adventure. The book has brilliant illustrations which capture key moments and is easy to read. This would be a great addition to any home library.

Every year on Caspian’s Unbirthday his Grandpa puts his present under his bed. This year Caspian finds an empty box as his present and is disappointed. Then Grandpa tells him that inside the box is an invisible magic wand that will only work when he names it. Once Caspian learns how to use his invisible magic wand he is able to control time. If he wants something to go quickly, he is able to speed time up. If he wants to enjoy something longer Caspian can slow time down and stretch it out. This comes in handy when Caspian wants to make the school day go by faster, or when he wants to really enjoy eating his favorite dessert.

This was another wonderful book by this author who has once again written a super cute and fun book for children. I loved the idea of an invisible magic wand and being able to speed up or slow down time. If I had an invisible magic wand when I was in school I would have done the same as Caspian and sped up the school day so that it went by faster. Caspian has a lot of great adventures with his invisible magic wand both at school and at home. The story was entertaining, and the illustrations really brought the story to life. A cute story for children of all ages.

A cute adventure centering on a boy named Caspian and his grandfather. Every year, he gets a special gift from his grandfather on his Unbirthday that has special, magical properties. When Caspian gets what seems to be an empty box he soon discovers the gift within will not only change his special day but his life. I love how the book is easy to read and had such a fantastical aspect to it that leads the reader to expand their imagination! The illustrations are easy to follow and reflect the story as it takes place.

This is a great children’s story by an author that makes her stories come to life with her writing skills. The pictures are interactive and help pull your children into the story. There is always a great meaning behind this author’s books. This book is no different. A story where a magic wand can control time. You don’t want to miss what happens with this wand. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites of this series. I highly recommend this children’s book.

Cute story with our friend Caspian and his adventure of what present he will get on this Unbirthday from his grandfather.

When Caspian opens up his special box from his grandfather for his Unbirthday, he notices that his box is empty. What magic awaits for Caspian with his day and the time. Grandpa teaches Caspian all about time, does this magic help Caspian make a basket during his basketball game?

This is a good story, I love the magic of time…..and the story is enjoyable for any age. As an adult I wish I had a little magic of time :).

This book was very cute! The lesson of imagination in this book is wonderful and it is not limited to age. The relationship between Caspian and his grandfather and mother is very nice to see. I like how Caspian was a sceptic at first but his grandfather assured him that if he just used his imagination, he would enjoy his present.

This story was absolutely adorable. When Caspian receive’s his unbirthday present from Grandpa, it’s nothing that he expects. The box is empty! When Grandpa explains that it’s an invisible wand and that it needs a name before he can start using it. He then learns that he can manipulate time and absolutely loves it. The times that he stretches out so he can enjoy them longer and how he can quicken time is a learning curve but he catches on pretty quickly. It is such a cute story, that my son loved reading and I’m sure he will be reading over and over again!
