I really love this series of books. Unbirthday gifts should be a normal thing. I read this book with my 6 year old and I truly enjoy the conversations that it opens between us. I like to ask her what would she be afraid to hear if she could hear others thoughts. What kind of problems would her rock help her solve. This is a great story to read with your child and explore ideas that may not normally just come to us.

The special gift from his grandpa reads minds! With the mind reading hat, he navigates avoiding surprises on his unbirthday and helps save someone in the process!

Very cute read for the kiddos and my 8 year old really enjoyed it. He thought it was funny and had some unexpected surprises in it!

The bonds between grandparents are super special and Caspian is no exception! It’s his un-birthday and he gets not one, but two, special gifts!! The first is a hat that once belonged to his grandpa. The other is a very uniquely shaped stone. Caspian learns really quickly that when he’s wearing the hat, he can hear the thoughts of others in their own voices! The rock gives him great ideas and helps him to solve problems.

What I wouldn’t give for a hat like Caspian’s! That would make life interesting for sure!

This is a super cute book and I wish I had a little one to read it with. This book would be enjoyable for those early readers. The illustrations are very bright and vibrant. The story is one that children would be able to easily enjoy.

Caspian gets a hat and a stone from his Grandpa for his unbirthday. He puts the hat on and can hear voices. He rubs the stone and he gets a good idea. As his day progresses he goes on an adventure to find out how he can use these gifts for his special day.

I loved this short but sweet picture book about Caspian and his adventure and think it would be perfect for children aged 4-8.

This was a sweet, and wonderful children’s story that I got to be very much engaged in as I read! I found the story was beautiful wit h its illustrations as well as cute in how the story went and that the story flowed very nicely.

The story was wonderfully done, and was a perfectly written children’s book. Highly enjoyable and I highly recommend!

This is book number six in this adorable children’s series about Caspian and his “UnBirthday” gift from his grandfather. The author has written another imaginative story that is perfect for kids of all ages. It also teaches kids that while it may be nice to hear other’s thoughts it is difficult job as well trying to help everyone. Caspian did a great job and learned a lesson that it’s not always rewarding to hear what others are thinking. The illustrations are so good, and I love how the colors pop off the page. They truly do go perfect with the story. I highly recommend you pick this book up for your kids.

The Mind-Reading Hat is story about another of Caspian’s unbirthday present from his grandpa and the adventure his gift leads him to experience. This year’s gift is a fedora hat that allows him to here others thoughts. This year he received a second gift from his mother as well, a rock that helps him with ideas. I read this with my kindergarten aged niece and nephew and they absolutely loved it. The story taught them how to keep trying and never give up. The Mind-Reading Hat is another hit with the kids, they can’t wait for the next!

This was a nice story that I could see using in the classroom. I really appreciated the simplicity of it but the way that it could encourage interesting discussions. I found the concept of the hat very interesting and loved the connection to his grandpa. The format of the illustrations was interesting and I think that children would enjoy it. Overall, this was a cute book.

I really enjoyed the storyline and illustrations in this easy to read childrens book. It was very colorful and after the first couple of pages, easy to follow. Can you imagine getting a unbirthday gift that allows you to hear people talking while wearing it? Caspian receives a gift from his Grandfather and it is completely unexpected, and his unbirthday journey takes an unexpected turn! I love how this author lets the reader use their own imagination when reading this book, I felt as if I was walking right next to Caspain throughout his entire journey, in which was an amazing and exciting one. The author did not miss a beat when telling this story and the illustrations were so cute and perfect on each page!

This is the 6th book in a series, and it is just as cute and good as the other ones! Each one of the stories revolves around a child named Caspian and, in this book, he receives a mind reading hat. This is the perfect book that you can read with children. It is family and child friendly and was such a joy to read.

Caspian is back with an all new unbirthday present or two. When Caspian woke up he was surprised to see 2 boxes under his bed.

Another great read for the kiddos.

The Mind-Reading Hat is the sixth book in this picture book series and is a fun story. Lois gives us another charming, original and imaginative tale for children between the ages of 4 – 8 years old. The colourful illustrations help to bring the story alive.

Caspian’s is back on a new adventure. This year his Grandpa gave him a Mind-Reading Hat for his UnBirthday Gift. Find out what happens when he dons his Mind-Reading Hat.

The story has magic and adventure and there is always a message featured with each one.

I look forward to Caspian’s next UnBirthday Gift.

Another cute read in this series. This story seemed a bit quicker than the previous one, but it is still entertaining. It is an easy-to-read book, and the story is easy to follow as well. Once again on his unbirthday Caspian goes on an adventure. This time he is given two gifts and uses them to unravel another mystery. While this new adventure for Caspian was fun it did not seem to pull the reader in to the story as much and was quickly over, but young readers will enjoy this fun story that has Caspian thinking and learning as he enjoys his newest adventure.

Another cute book from this author. In this Magic Wand Book Caspian receives another UnBirthday present, well actually two of them. They, as all the other presents, are very special. As the title states, Caspian receives a mind reading hat. Whose mind will he be able to read? Where do these minds take him: on an adventure, in search of more gifts, etc.? These books are great for kids. They allow them to use their imagination. It leads them to thinking that what seems silly or impossible might just be real.

This is the second book I have read by this author, and the second story I have read with Caspian. I really love the art work and the story line. Caspian’s grandfather has all of these magical items that are given to Caspian on his unbirthdays and he gets the joy of learning in this book, what the hat and stone do for him. This is such a great story to get the imagination flowing in kids.

In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays for children.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children and four grandchildren, and a dog. She gardens, rides her bike, and tries to save the planet.

The Know-It-All Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand)The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom

A very cute book for children, the story revolves around an unusual gift a boy called Caspian receives for his birthday from his grand father. The gift is a pencil which writes by itself. But does the pencil just write or is there some reason behind what the pencil is writing? Initially it writes one word, then when Caspian gets what it is asking for , it connects the thing to a person, and that person might be in need of help ! A very cute story about being kind and helpful to others written in a very unique way. I absolutely loved this book

This is such a great children’s book! Every year on his “Unbirthday”, Caspian receives a gift from his grandfather. This time it was a magic pencil that wrote words on the notepad by itself. The words confused Caspian until he realized they were things that other people around him needed or needed his help with. A wonderful story about helping others in need with a little bit of science information thrown in too! The-Know-It-All-Pencil is beautifully illustrated. The artwork is vivid, and descriptive of what is happening in the story. All in all, this is a good book for children to read, and I would love to read more of this series. I absolutely recommend this book to other parents to both read for themselves and read with their children!

The author Lois Wickstrom did a fantastic job on this book! My 8 year old and I read this together and not only did he love the story but the illustrations as well. Caspian receives a pencil and a pad of paper from his grandfather for his “unbirthday”. It’s not just any pencil though, it’s a Know-It-All pencil. A magical pencil that Leads straight to adventure. What adventures you may ask? I will not spoil it, you must read to find out and I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a great book to read and discuss with your kids. They will adore it.

This was such a cute story with lots of valuable lessons attached. Caspian was a great kid and he definitely gave some food for thought after he received the pencil for his birthday. The illustrations were beautiful and the story itself left quite the mark. You learned the importance of doing for others as well as just doing good things in general. My 7 year old enjoyed the story and she was able to pin point the lessons right away!

The-Know-It-All-Pencil is a cute, engaging, short story. Caspian’s unbirthday always starts with a unique gift from his grandpa. This year’s gift is a pencil that gives clues and a pad of paper to write them on. The adventure that Caspian goes on helps him meet many different people, teaches him about helping others, paying it forward, as well as interesting facts he didn’t know before.

This well written story is easy to follow and engaging. The art work is also beautifully done. I would recommend for kids around the ages of three to low elementary.

A quick and easy book for little ones. Caspian receives a special pencil and paper from his grandpa. These special items take Caspian on a special adventure. One word begins the fun and soon he is finding and trading items. The story is easy to follow and very descriptive. It is an interesting story that keeps the young readers entertained and eager to see what happens next with each new item that Caspian gets and when this adventure is over it brings readers back to a point where Caspian is ready for another adventure to begin.
