Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend (Oscar and Emmy Series) by Terri Sabol. This book is so good for kids aged 5-11 who have pets and have to go thru the horrible part of losing that pet. Oscar and Emmy are 2 pet cats and they are very well cared for. Their children have found a stray cat outside and they have been feeding it. Oscar and Emmy’s owners have taken it to the vet to get it fixed and they are doing their best to take care of it. When they notice its health declining their owners take it to the vet again and have to make the horrible decision to euthanize. This book will help kids process the awful process of losing a pet and the aftermath of it. This would make a great gift for a family mourning their pet.

Another gripping installment in a fascinating series. The setting is a boarding school for students who possess extraordinary abilities. The main characters are a set of gifted twins from a family of both gifted and non gifted family members. The family is one of many who belong to a secret society. This has potential hallmarks of a being a set of stories about a cult-like organization. It is such an amazing read!

A beautiful and thoughtfully written story that can be hard for some to talk about. Although I have never needed to have a pet euthanize a family pet. This book makes it easier to have the conversation with children. The story is about a family with 2 cats, named Oscar and Emmy, that help a neighborhood stray cat who they soon discover is very sick. I would definitely consider reading this story to my children if we were to find our beloved pet is hurting, needing comfort, love, and affection as he or she takes their last breath.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted isn’t like other schools. At West Hills, they take in students with special gifts above and beyond what the normal student can do. They have classes for telepathy, telekinesis, and more!

Franklin and Jonathan Reed are two students (and twins) at West Hills and this year is big! The school is taking part in a competition amongst houses and if they’re lucky, they get to participate.

Jon is struggling with being the only student with his gift, while Frank is worried that he’ll fall victim like the others with a similar gift. The boys must work together and try to save the school.

I found this book really hard to get into. It may be because I didn’t read book one or that it just wasn’t a book in my usual middle grade genre.

I felt there were missing parts (these may become clear when I go back and read book 1) throughout and several areas where more information could’ve been helpful in hammering out some storyline. I also struggled with the changes in perspective with this book. It goes from Frank to Jon to others in third person without much transition so I found it hard to know who I was reading as on several occasions and had to go back and find out.

It has a ton of potential and I loved the zodiac games and the suspense for the boys to figure out what was going on. I can’t wait to try again once I’ve read book one to see if that has helped me pick up on where I struggled with this one.

After recently having to put my own cat, Simba, down due to cancer, this book was spot on. The vet we used was very compassionate as was the vet in this story. After reading this story and taking a moment to remember my own experience, I went back and enjoyed the pictures as well. This author uses words simply enough for young children to understand and encourages questions for better understanding.
Can’t say I enjoyed reading this story but when is death ever an enjoyable read. However, this story was nicely done.

As usual, our household was so excited to get our hands on another Lous Wickstrom book. Especially this one given my son’s newfound fascination with rockets. We all got into the book so easily and found it to be entertaining and educational. The story asks the characters match each other perfectly.
We had already read this book multiple times and I am sure we will be reading if many times more.

A great children’s book that introduces them to what constellations are. I enjoyed the illustrations and the visit of the little alien to a school on Earth. It was interesting how he had different names for his constellations, based on what he/they thought they looked like as opposed to what we named them. The end of the book has a list and pictures of the constellations.

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.

The Secrets of Arkaim (The Reeds of West Hills #2)The Secrets of Arkaim by B.E. Padgett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Secrets of Arkaim is the second book in The Reeds of West Hills series. It’s a good idea to start at the beginning of the series, although this sequel does a good job of reminding readers of relevant information from The Guardian of Whispers. It’s a fun magic school fantasy series appropriate for strong readers in KS2, as well as KS3.

Jon and Frank are getting used to their powers and the school and wider world they are now a part of. They’re excited to go back after the summer – to see their friends again and learn more about what they can do! And they have the Zodiac Games to look forward to, which it seems the whole school is excited about!

There are also plenty of situations for them to navigate, including Jon coping with the stigma associated with his unusual powers. And there are mysteries to solve, where the twins have to work to keep themselves and their friends safe.

This book gets five stars for me! I’d recommend it to young fans of magic school series such as Children of the Red King and The School for Good and Evil.

I enjoyed this story….the boys are back!! Jon and Frank Reed are on another journey while attending a school for the Perceptually Gifted …this time Zodiac Games are on the horizon. While trying to hone in on their gifts and learning how to use them, Jon and Frank also want to participate in the Zodiac Games and bring home a win for their house. When strange things happen….there are so many questions….this shadowy figure is causing some problem….Jon is seeing this questionable figure and feels like he cannot tell anyone to help while having issues sleeping as well…and sickness is hitting the students, will Jon and Frank be able to figure out what is happening with this and also what is going on with this shadowy figure that Jon can see that haunts him…

This book was a fun read full of gifts, mystery, adventure and magic. I highly recommend reading
book 1 as you get to know the characters and continue into this story.

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.

Amaleigha Makes a New Friend is a wonderfully written children’s book that my son and I truly enjoyed reading. We love reading about Amaleigha and what she’s doing. My son just started kindergarten and is very excited about learning all the things. What we love most about this author and her books is the message you take away from reading her books. Amaleigh’s class learns about Ukraine and having pen pals .They all get letters from their pen pals all while learning about them and what they like to do. Amaleigh learned so about from her pen pal vova. My son now wants a pen pal. We loved this book and the illustrations bring the story to life. I highly recommend reading this book. We look forward to reading more from this Author .

I love informative children’s stories! This has everything a parent could ask for, when it comes to explaining pet loss to a child. The way the author walked through the steps that follow a sick pet were spot on. Oscar and Emmy asked many questions along the way, which opened up conversation between the Parents, Veterinarians and Children. The pictures told the story as well. Which made for the perfect story for fur baby loss. What a great introduction to The Rainbow Bridge. This book is a must have for all children’s book shelves.

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!

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.

Xenia Navarro and the Magic AntsXenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the longest Lois Wickstrom book I have read and I love to see something that is for some older children than usual. This story focuses on somewhat of a heavier topic than her usual fare so I would not recommend this one for her usual preschool / kindergarten crowd, but it is more for late elementary.
In this story we meet a main character who has an undocumented immigrant for a mother and a father who was U.S. Military. However, he passed away before being able to marry, Xenia’s, (the main character) mother. This means that Xenia and her brother are U.S. citizens. This is a reality for many children living in the U.S. right now. Lois Wickstrom does a great job addressing this in a way that is accessible to children this young and does not make it stigmatizing in any way. She also shows the challenges that this poses Xenia and her family and how they have to try to avoid drawing attention to themselves. When their worst fears come to fruition Xenia and her family have to get creative to see each other and also have to rely on the kindness of others.
This is quite possibly the best Lois Wickstrom book I have read and I love the way she addresses this topic. She handles this reality in such a light hearted way that does not make it inaccessible to the children who read it. But it also does a great job of really showing the reality for families in these situations. I highly recommend this one!

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.

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.

I was so excited to get to read book two of the Reed brother adventures! I thought the author did a great job in this follow up book in keeping the mysteries fresh and exciting. If you haven’t, you will definitely want to go back and read book one, which introduces the boys and their gifts. I loved the continuing friendship between Jon, Frank, and Mira and seeing how they continue to help and support each other. We see that things are getting weirder for Jon and Frank as their powers continue to manifest. I enjoyed see how the author balanced the Zodiac Games, a competition between the houses, with unpredictable rules and changes and the different the struggles the twins were experiencing. This series is definitely giving me Harry Potter/Percy Jackson vibes and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I am so excited to see what happens in the next book!

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.

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 a very emotional book but one that should be shared with all young pet owners. In this story, Shadow, who is the stray cat that keeps showing up, has stopped eating like normal. Oscar and Emmy’s owners notice a lump on Shadow’s belly, so they take her to the vet. The news is not good and now they must all say goodbye to Shadow.

Very gently written in a way that young children can have a better understanding of what happens when pets become too sick. I would recommend this for all pet owners, especially those of the younger generation.
